Most migraines are due to an inflammatory process so an anti-inflammatory usually helps. However, I have yet to find anything that will make it totally go away, just makes it more manageable. Hope you feel better soon. On the advise of my migraine specialist neurologist I take the extra strength liquid advil and it helps take the edge off my migraines.

Jeremy makes a good point; T3's have caffeine. While my wife can handle caffeine in her coffee and such, she always found that T3's burned her stomach. For years she thought she was allergy to Tylenol, but our current doctor told her it was likely the caffeine in the T3's and introduced her to Emtec's. They are the same things at T3's but without the caffeine (so it just consists of the equivalent dose of acetaminophen and codeine). It solved the problem for her, but we have found that we have had to educate other medical professionals as to what Emtec is when they wanted to prescribe her T3's. If you truly think caffeine is the major cause of your headaches, start asking for Emtec from your doctor instead. Also sorry to hear your not feeling well.

I've found that Advil (ibuprofen) works best on headaches and tooth pain for me. But I don't suffer from migraines so I may not be the best person to ask. If you've been taking 3x T3s you've had a decent dose of caffeine - about the same as a cup of espresso. Why did you give up coffee? Hope you feel better.
