Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Dec 04, 2009	As needed	Moderate	Mild	Always	Somewhat

Side effects:: Nausea, Jaw pain, Drowsiness, Face Tingling

Date: Dec 04, 2009
Advice & Tips: Works wonderful for migraine pain, if taken at the VERY start of migraine. If not it takes more than one tab. Disadvantage is severe drowsiness, can not take unless I can sleep for a min 1 - 2 hours immediatly afterwards or it has little to no effect.
