I take Maxalt as well and hydrocodone when they are really bad. I also use aromatherapy which helps also.
Regardless of the type of painkillers I took, I found it very beneficial to lay down and try and nap in a dark and quiet room. I had much luck on Topamax, was on that but stopped with concerns it would interact w/ my BC. I can't seem to get a definite answer from my doctor on how accurate those claims are with the dosage I was on 100mg per day. I really would like to go back on it!
Totally agree with everyone about the excedrine migraine and a dark room. You can also try some lavender oil on the pillow or I even put a little dab on my temples. It helps relax and soothe you and works wonders!! also look into triggering foods... After a while a I realized that every time I would eat a banana I would get a migraine, there is something in the peel that constricts blood vessels that cause the migraine. You can find many lists of triggering foods online its defiantly something worth checking out. Hope he is feeling better!!!
Sorry for him! I get migraines too... so I know what it's like. But dark room, water, excedrine migrane, sleep, and sometimes some pressure on my forhead works wonders! Usually it's the sleep part that's the key... Hope he feels better!
I get them too. Tying a bandana around your head will help relieve some of the pressure. Some foods cause it too. I know almond are a big migraine trigger. Not sure what else though...
glad to hear he feels better. tomorrow make sure he drinks a lot of water. those migrane hangovers can be just as bad as the migrane.
I suffer from Migraines....its horrible...ask the Doctor for Frova it is amazing....its works fast...makes you a little sleepy but you kinda wanna sleep when you have a migraine. i have been using it for years its AWESOME!!!
topomax!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has worked miracles for me that as i am typing this i am tearing up...my life used to be run by my migraines...when we got engaged all i thought about was a migraine ruining my wedding day...but I got a new doc and he gave me topomax which i take every day as a preventative med...and I have only had 1 in the past 3 months. (because I skipped a few days)...I literally used to get 3-4 a week!!!!!!
