The prescript never worked for me, they jsut made me throw up. I take excedrin migrane. So far that's been the only thing to work.
Good luck!

It depends on how bad yours are. I have to take a shot in order to get rid of mine.

I have been getting migranes since I was 8. I had them up until I had children and then no headaches. Then, menopause, and ohhhh headaches. My Dr. Who is a great neurologist who just cares for headach patients prescribed imitrex. I take half of a 50 mg at onset. If not gone in 30 minutes take other half. I have been able to get rid of the migrane completely. I have a few sore muscles for a couple hours, but it all goes away.

When I was pregnant I found that a can of coke and 2 tylenols got rid of my migrianes most effectively. I tooked the tylenol at the onset of my migraine (the aura) and then sipped the coke throughout the next few hours.

None of the medications I tried worked for me. I tried percodan, immitrex and a few others. The only relief I could get was to take a gravol long acting (anti-nausea med) or a sleeping pill to knock me out. After sleeping I would awake with no migraine but I would be fuzzy brained for most of the day.

However after taking the herb feverfew (from the health food store) the migraines were reduced in frequency and intensity. Now they no longer plague me.

I have had headaches since I was 4 yrs old, I have tried everything out there.. It is just not taking a pill it is watching your diet as well, many foods will trigger a migraine such as chicken, chocolate, tea and citrus fruits. The only thing that I found to relieve my headaches was a bc powder or a goodys, however they are very hard on your stomache.. But they work.. I also get in the shower, with the setting as high as it will go( if you have a pulsing shower head) and as hot as I can stand, let that hit the base of your neck. Hope this helps

For migraine, there are no general pills. You have to try different pills in order to know which one work best without side effect in short term and long term. Before taking the pills, usually patient characteristic needed in example : age, height, weight, blood pressure, and how often the attacked was.
