Excedrin worked for me before I quit coffee.
Also, since starting a low-carb keto diet two years ago, I haven't had a single migraine (I used to get 2-3 per month, both painful ones and visual auras). When I was a pediatric neurology prof a few years ago, a keto diet was standard of care for the kids, and the department was starting research into keto for chronic migraines. Give it a try!
- dv35z 11y agoFor those unaware: Excedrin's principal ingredients are acetaminophen (Tylenol) + aspirin + caffeine. Each pill contains about 65 mg of caffeine (roughly equivalent to a shot of espresso).
- pixelperfect 11y agoI had the same result after switching to a keto diet 10 months ago. Do you know if there are any research papers on this? I was really surprised how effective the change in diet was because I did it on a whim without receiving medical advice.
- reitanqild 11y agoNot exactly research paper, and not migraine but it was mentioned in a ted(x?) talk linked from HN a week ago or so IIRC. The talk was about keto and cancer but touched into keto against epilepsy as well. I think the Charlie Foundation or something was mentioned as well. Maybe some of that research can hold some pointers?
