I use a range of painkillers to help with the weekend migraines, starting with Panadol, then
Imigran, then Ibuprofen and finally codeine. If the migraine doesn't resolve itself then I go to bed, and start the process again, minus the imigran, in 4 hours time. Sometimes the migraines last all weekend, other times, I'm fine by about 9pm that night. I usually have an Aura to start with, objects get a glowing line around them or I get other visual disturbances.
