I use ibuprofen (Motrin) and it works well. Works even better if I take it with caffiene, and also staying hydrated keeps me from having as many. Good luck!

You tell me and then we'll both know. I have been trying to find out the answer to that question for years. And Demerol and codiene works enough in that they make you not care you are in pain. Nice little vacation from the headache.
