Tylenol

Acetaminophen (500MG) for Headache
For me Tylenol always works great, I do not understand why everybody takes those much more dangerous NSAIDs like Aspirin, Aleve (naproxen) and Advil (ibuprofen).
Don't they know you can have two 500 mg tablets every 6 hours?
(I use even a bit more if really necessary), but most of the time I am already headache-free with one tablet twice a day.

Works great every time I need it.
No need for more aggressive pain killers, like Advil (ibuprofen), naproxen or others.
I take 2 pills when I have a headache and it works with apprroxy. 30 minutes.
No side effects experienced so far.

Amitriptyline (10mg) for headache
The first two years this definitely helped with the headaches but the previous few months the splitting headaches have come back, during the day and overnight. Back to the head specialist we go.

Topamax

Topiramate (50mg) for headache
since I've been taking Topamax for my headaches, which really helps, a lot fewer headaches. But the problem is all the kidney stones I've got, for two months now. And that's why I stopped taking topamax and I'm now waiting to see if the kidney stones are going to stay away and hope that the headaches don't come back.

Mirtazapine (15mg) for headache
I had really bad muscle tension headaches on one side of my head. I was prescribed mirtazapine at the headache clinic. The pain hasn't completely disappeared but it's now bearable. The side effects are actually good for me. I'm sleeping well, put on a bit of weight and I don't have any trouble with the itching in my mouth when I eat fruit any more. Only negative is that I'm a bit drowsy in the ...
