What are the differences between ASD and ADHD, and some distinct aspects of the latter so I can understand if it could be affecting me? (self.adhd)

Your migrane medication tends to have stimulants to increase it's efficacy (usually caffeine), I guess it's enough for ADHD symptom management

While that's true for over the counter migraine meds which are usually just an NSAID or Tylenol with caffeine, I suspect OP is referring to the preventative RX medication you take every single day and takes a long time (months, irrc) to see if it has any improvement. Which is why it's interesting that it helps! I wonder if that's a known benefit.

Also OP hope it helps with your migraines too! They are horrific. And if you're able and need a rescue/acute med when you do have please talk to doctor about if triptans would work for you. Not recommended for people with Aura headaches or on SSRIs but they work great if you can take them.
