I have found that I have been having tension headaches also! Im on 75mgs right now: 50mg at night, and 25mg in the mmorning (My reason for Topa is misfiring nerve problems not migranes, however and Im not sure that makes a difference but I thought Id add it.)
My other side effects that Ive discovered it that coffee tastes horrible, and corbinated drinks like coke and rootbeer taste like tonic water, anyone else? And do the side effects get better as the dosages get higher has anyone found?
I take Motrin for the tension headaches and it takes the edge off, my PM dr. said that it was alright to do so, but perhaps it would be wise to check with yours first. Havent heard about the asprin thing, but thats not surprising as I cant take asprin because it upsets my stomach and thats in my chart so Im sure they assumed that I wouldnt take it anyway if I had a headache... good point to add though, LivenFlower

Ill have to remember that in case someone else asks and then I can share your findings with them
