    There is a brand mixing acetylsalicylic acid and koffein which works wonders as a quick relief for migraine while my standard naproxen usually requires a few hours of darkness to start working, so I can’t agree that all over the counter meds are garbage. I can’t refute your placebo claims since the effect cant be measured by myself

      Shoot, I forgot aspirin! It actually is a genuinely effective painkiller. Mixed with caffeine, and you pretty much have Excedrin. My mother has very bad migraines, and it is true that this formula just works, for some reason.

      Excedrin is a good product. If you have a migraine, I’d suggest taking it. I will add that my mother seems addicted to it, though–taking it on the daily multiple times, even if a headache is mild.

      Be careful!
