I was on day 6 of my migraine/headache, I'd tried panadol, ibropufen, panadeine fort, tramadol, temazapan and valium (not in the same sitting) and nothing eradicated the feeling of the axe someone metaphorically left in my skull.

I have received absolutely no relief for my hemiplegic migraines with this medication. Very disappointing. Next step is Botox injections.
