Same here. I've had migraines that medicine barely touched. That's when I realized my headaches were beyond "bad" - when I'd taken 800 mg of whatever and my head was still throbbing so hard with every step that I was trying to walk as softly as possible. Then again I've had headaches medicine has staved off. So for that reason I take it most of the time I feel a headache start, especially if it seems like a bad one, even though it doesn't always work. I try to drink water when I get migraines cuz I figure hydration is a good thing I don't do enough. But I will try caffeine first if I haven't had any.
