With me, I don't get vision breakup. I tend to find that I cant concentrate, which then gets worse and worse, to a point that my memory stops working properly. I also get vision problems, in that I find it difficult to read or to look at a monitor, especially if it has a slow refresh rate (TVs are definitely a no no). The pain arrives last. Generally I take co-dydramol, which is probably similar in effect (though not content) to vicodin or percocet in the US. It tends to knock me out -- I fall asleep for a few hours, then feel much better when I wake up. Generally migraines last about a day for me, but with extreme provocation (i.e. eating a whole jar of wholegrain mustard in one go!) they can last up to 3 or 4 days.
