I don't get migraines too often, maybe once every couple of years but they last for a long time when I get them, anywhere from a week to my last one which lasted 6 weeks. I found Ibuprofen to work, but need to take 3 at a time, but doing that 4 times a day for weeks is probably really bad for you. 😂

Anyway it is awful to have.

As for prescriptions, unrelated medication I have for acid reflux and some other thing, my Dr prescribes 2 months worth at a time so I only have to pay once for the prescription instead of twice (one for each month).

Pills cost like less than 1p to make I'm pretty sure, any cost associated is always to get the initial research cost back and then bleed you dry for years until the (I want to say patent? runs out). Then the generic brands come out for cheapo.
