    I have horrible sinus/tension headaches and this medication works fast and usually relieves most my pain.

    It only works for me for 2 hours as well and then doesn't completely get rid of the headache, it just dulls it. I can only take every 4 hours so by the time I can take another dose the headache has gotten bad enough again that it doesn't do much. It just dulls it for another 2 hours.
