I've had migraines for 10 years. I would guess about 1 per week/fortnight on average, lasting for 8ish hours. Never drank coffee until this year, when I started drinking it along with a high dose of aspirin (~1000mg) when I felt a migraine coming on. Almost a complete cure for me, much better than the medicine my doctor prescribed for me. So, for anyone else reading, like everything with migraines, your mileage may vary.

That sounds similar to Excedrin Migraine (which also adds acetaminophen and ibuprofen).
Yeah I’ve heard about that, but I haven’t been able to find it in Canada. I’ve tried a combination aspirin + caffeine pill, but it didn’t seem to work as well as coffee.
