Hmmm, haven't tried that one, but I had pretty good luck with Fiorinal myself. When I was in high school, I started getting very odd migraines from time to time, that I've had ever since. It's odd because it's really only a very mild headache, with no real nausea, but I totally lose any peripheral vision, with massive blind spots even right in front of me. It's the weirdest thing - I can be looking at a chair up against a wall, and see the wall, but not the chair. And it's a total pain in the butt, even though it doesn't hurt all that much - can't read, can't work, can't drive.
Doctor put me on Tylenol #3 to start (after rounds and rounds of vision checks, CAT scans, the works), but that was no improvement for me - I'd see just fine, but the codeine knocked me on my butt anyway, so I still wasn't getting anything done ;)
When I get the sparklies, they start out as a pinprick of color that grows outward in a ring of sparkling colors, and everything inside the ring is dulled and fuzzy. Can see shapes, kinda, but can't read. After maybe 45 minutes it fades back to normal.
