I have migranes that link one to the next for weeks at a time, and have found that taking this drug within the first 48 hours causes these chain headaches to end within a much shorter period of time. The current headache doesn't always go away but within a day or so the pain will go away and the vessels shrink back to normal. If taken after the first 48 hours this drug doesn't seem to have much of...

I've been taking this since 1988. I carry it with me always cause I never know when I'm going to get a headache, (I get migraines and tension headaches). I've tried many other prescription medications and all of the NSAID's out there. This is the ONLY drug that works for me. I take it at the first sign of a headache and about 10 minutes later, sweet relief! Best headache medication out there.

Doctor prescribed this medication because I was having a tension headache first time ever. Headache started that Thursday went in to doctors office Friday cause the pain was unbearable and nothing worked. Took the medication for 3 days straight with no relief. I had to go back into the doctor office to request a shot.

Great relief from nightly tension headaches, centered at base of skull and neck area. Sleeping very well! Maybe a little too well. Longer sleep and a little groggy in the mornings after taking this drug.

Not many other medications have been able to help, but this one does. I would call it about 95% effective, in most cases. It works best when taken at the onset of pain, but that isn't always convenient for me, as this medication makes me quite tired. It also helps to lay down or take a nap after taking this. I find that if I fall asleep after taking this, that I feel much better when I wake up.

I have been taking this medication for headaches & back pain. It really helps to get relief from the headaches & back pain. I have been taking it for at least 8 years. I have tried other meds in the past but nothing works as well as this one. I take it from the first sign of a headache or if I wake up with a headache, I take one and go back to bed for an hour. It really is a life saver to have a medication that works so I can function and go to work.

I use this for cluster headaches. It takes a little bit longer to kick in than I'd like, and I'll confess I've started biting the (hideously bitter) pills in half so they dissolve in my stomach faster, but they work pretty damn well. The twitchy, compulsive movement that accompanies cluster headaches is quelled and the worst of the pain is gone usually within twenty minutes, as opposed to the 2 hours or so that would normally occur before calming down.

If I take it with first signs of a cluster headache it will clear it up within 20 minutes.

Very effective. I use it whenever my head gets really tense before bed. Every time I've taken it, it does its job and helps me sleep.

I only take this drug when 800-mg of Tylenol have not provided relief.

Have been taking this med for over 25 years. It has prevented my migraines from coming on if taken at the earliest signs of a migraine. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well and find that it brings relief from the pain associated with this, as well. I also take amitriptyline (25 mg.) at bedtime. The combination of these two meds have brought me much relief.

If taken just as headache comes on it fixes it, the headache is fine or tolerable. Nothing else works as well

This almost never works for my headaches. I was happy to have something stronger than the typical OTC meds, but it doesn't usually work for me...even after taking a second dose.
