    I have always thought to ask my Doc if the baby aspirin daily would help me. I am at my wits end and will be starting a new job in a few weeks. Don’t want them to know I have migraines right away.

    Aspirin can’t be any worse than the amount of hydrocodone and triptans required to ease the pain of my migraine attacks. May try Topamax again. But the side effects were nasty.

    I tried that 10 years ago, actually. Result: drug-induced daily headache. I would NOT recommend it!

    I have found taking an aspirin helps my migraine “attacks.” I don’t know what else to call them, and neither do the doctors. From what I see here, it’s an “aura” but these attacks are seizure/stroke like. Thankfully I don’t have either, but taking a 325mg aspirin in addition to my Fioricet just as I feel it come on does quiet things for awhile. I don’t take it as preventative though. Be sure not to mix anything with aspirin or ibuprofen due to stomach upset – know what’s in your medications and check with your doctor before doing this. I’m told it reduces the inflammation. I hope this helps someone 🙂

      Have you tried Fiorinal? It’s the same as Fioricet, but has a combination of aspirin AND tylenol in it whereas Fioricet is only tylenol. I have both types and both seem to be equally effective for me. However, if you want to lessen the chance of tylenol induced liver damage due to excessive tylenol intake, you might want to go with the Fiorinal.

    Yeah, if I take aspirin, for any reason, as soon as it wears off my head pain is worse, even if it wasn’t that bad before I took the aspirin. I learned this when I went in to the doctor for a outpatient procedure, when they told me to take aspirin to reduce swelling afterwards…bad idea. Would have rather just taken the pain from the procedure than the migraine attack afterwards. I am one of those people with chronic daily headache/migraines.
