    For me it’s the opposite. When i get migraines the only thing that helps is an overdose of caffeine.

        I doubt it. Migraine specific pain medicine often has caffeine in it. I get ocular migraines every year or so and goodies or Excedrin migraine (just a blend of nsaids, acetaminophen, and caffeine) do a good job

          Both can be true at the same time. Caffeine can help with migraines but the main reason it‘s in the meds is to speed up the effect of other substances. At the same time regular consumption of caffeine (coffee, energy drinks etc.) can lead to withdrawal symptoms and give you bad headaches more often. But we‘re all built a little different and some people have much milder caffeine withdrawals than others.

            It’s ok! Over the years I’ve learned a lot of tricks to help me deal with them, and notice when they’re coming on. They’ve also slowed down in frequency quite a bit as I age.
