I have some bad headaches once in a while. I usually get them in a set of 3 or 4 in a couple of days and then not have one for several weeks. Most of them affect my vision. Like when you see star after hitting you head or something. It starts as a small patch of stars and slowly works its way across my field of sight, left to right, and finally disappears off the right side. Now if I feel one coming on, I take 2 Midrin capsules and one an hour and this seems to eliminate the vision problem and reduce the migrain to a 'standard' headache the anybody can put up with. Before I found out about this med. I would have to go to bed in a *DARK* room and just crash and try not to get sick. Derk@cup.portal.com
