"Caffeine is better than nothing and if it doesn't give you insomnia or jitters, it's probably helpful for us asthmatics to have a daily cup of coffee or tea. However, I can't say that it's overly helpful, and I certainly don't think it should be used before an actual asthma medication."

"When you have migraine headaches and you're given Imitrex, you are only allowed to take 2 per day, and that's only 9 pills per month under the Medicare rules. When you have no Imitrex, my doctor told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen, brand name Advil and Motrin, and take one 200 mg caffeine pill at the same time, and that got rid of the headaches when I didn't have Imitrex."
