Migraines


Question Posted Thursday June 7 2007, 4:54 pm

I get severe migraines when I'm stressed out. Even if it's over something silly, like getting my errands done. I've tried excedrin migraine and aleve for my headaches, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone else who gets severe migraines have a quick fix for dealing with them?

i dont know if this will help but it helped me try closing your ryes since migranes are sensitive to light and swinging your arms back and fourth.

have you tried taking topamax? this medicine changed my life forever. i used to get migraines every single day of my life. (the kind where i cant see anything and i would throw up) so then i started taking this medicine and it got rid of them completely. there were absolutely no side effects. i took it for a year then got off of it and its been two years now and i still have not gotten one since. i would truly reccomend talking to your doctor about it. if you are not interested though, here is a website of 10 things you can do to quickly get rid of one.

Migraines are definitely bad news.

Your best bet is to set an appointment with your doctor. If over the counter medicines are doing you no good, then you probably need something from the pharmacy.

I know that isn't probably the quick fix you were looking for, but it is your best option.

hey

migraines run in my family. my mom uses this stuff called head on. & i'm sure you've heard the annoying commercial, 'head on! apply directly to the forehead! head on! apply directly to the forehead!' but yeah it REALLY works. you should def try it.

if i have a headache, i usually just sleep it off, but that's not always possible =]]
