Advice & Tips: Vicodin does absolutely nothing for migraines and cluster headaches, but it is great for those times when I need to take the edge off other types of pain in my body. One example is when my lower back acts up because I can't do any sort of massage to relieve the pain, and there isn't much that works for it. If the pain is really bad, I will take a Vicodin and a Flexoril at night before bed, and sleep like a baby.
