> Paracetamol is not handling it, they often stop it, or rather, it stops the thing that is causing it to develop.

Actually, this is pretty interesting. I'd be really curious if NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen have the same effect. APAP has a novel mechanism of action at the cannabinoid receptor type 1, because it's a prodrug for AM404. That's the only target that I've ever found that kills my migraines (N.B. prescribed synthetic, not so much smoking joints or anything).




NSAIDs doesn't have the same effect that I remember, but truthfully, I haven't tried to use them for that purpose for a long time.
