Why Is Ibuprofen Taking Longer to Work These Days?

Hi! Been taking Ibuprofen for 18 years to manage 6-8 migraines per month. Within’ the last year, I noticed it now takes 45-75 min to work instead of the usual 20-30. Is this normal? Any tips? I try to use Triptans/Tylenol but not much of an effect. Thank you in advance!
