This neurologist uses aspirin 650 mg and a strong cup of coffee as soon as he feels his aura coming on. Works nearly every time. I’ve never tried sumatriptan and I doubt I ever will.

I think individual variation matters a lot, though. Most of my patients seem to do pretty well with triptans.

No contest, the h/a just went away with sumatriptan. With the caffeine, I couldn’t even just crawl into a ball and whine myself to sleep — too antsy.

I don´t suffer from migrain, but lately I have had terrible headaches…I think that the cause is the electric insecticide that i use because of the mosquitoes….I take Alidol and is like magic, because aspirin and caffeine don´t help me

I have never tryed Sumartriptan
