I’m not a big coffee drinker..
Usually it’s one cup of tasters choice a day..
I get headaches often but it’s usually from stress or hunger.
DH went to buy me slow release Advil for the fast..
Typical DH , he came back with caffeine suppositories.
Wrong thing!
I went out and got my slow release Advil.
No use for the caffeine supposetories.
Or so I thought..

This morning of all days, I woke up with a headache. I stayed in bed a little while... headache was getting worse. Yes, I get migraines sometimes.
I took out the pain killers wondering if I can swallow without water. Then I noticed the caffeine suppositories. I figured aside for the gross factor, I have nothing to loose!
It’s really gross but I did it... and around a half hour later I suddenly felt full of energy. And my headache was gone.
It’s almost 6 hours later and I never felt so good on a fast day! I’m not weak or tired and no headache!
I’m embarrassed to tell people that I used a suppository but here that I can (basically) be anonymous ... hope it helps people in the future. I’m for sure gonna use it again!

Nothing to be embarrassed about. I tell people about them all the time. They're a lifesaver! Since I discovered them a few years ago, YK has been so much easier, bh.

The strange thing.. I wasn’t craving the caffeine... I wasn’t collapsing because I needed it..
But I’m feeling really well now... one of my kids asked me if I ate something because I have so much energy!
I’m usually in bed at this point counting down the hours...

Because YK is like Shabbos and halachos of medicine it’s better to take plain caffeine. And only take the caffeine with Tylenol ones if you are prone to get headaches.

Wow, this sounds really good. I suffer from bad headaches which, I"m assuming are from a combination of dehydration and caffeine withdrawal. I love coffee and have about 2-3 cups a day.

Please don't tell me to slowly wean myself off coffee before a fast. I'd rather only suffer one day (the fast day) than several days without /or with less coffee.
Anyhow, I'm sorry if this question is TMI, but I'd imagine these suppositories would make someone have to GO!!! Is that the case? Because then I'm not sure I'd want to take them.

No, that is not the case.
The suppositories made for constipation make you go. This doesn’t effect that at all. It just gives you an energy boost.
