    Opiates are not medically indicated for migraines.

    Triptans are.

    So are injections of Ajovy.

    This person is not talking about taking opiates. They are talking about medications that suck to take, but reduce the electrical storm of a migraine in the brain.

      So my specifics are off. The point is still there. Choosing to suffer when you can easily stop it with near 0 downsides is kinda dumb. This guy clearly doesn’t have an easy fix with near 0 downsides. So this quite obviously doesn’t apply to that situation, does it?
