   When I've got a slight headache, I take two paracetamol. But when I've got a raging headache I reach for ibuprofen.

   I don't know for a fact that ibuprofen is more effective than paracetamol. But the word - "ibuprofen" - sounds more ... angular in my mouth, than "paracetamol".

   It's Bouba and Kiki all over again.

     As someone who suffered with chronic headaches and has taken everything known to man (including opioids), your best bet is a combo of paracetamol and ibuprofen

     @kims A doctor once said that to me - "Take 2 paracetamol and 2 Ibuprofen." - but I never do it cos it somehow feels wrong, like it must be an overdose
