I have migraine problems and over the counter anti-inflammatories, such as advil don’t help me at all. I’ve gotten prescription meds that help, but the best thing is to smoke a bit of weed. It’s natural and won’t create stomach ulcers. Sleeping in a dark quiet environment always helps also. Calming, herbal teas can always help also.

I get migraines every so often, and I was wondering what the best way to treat them was. I’ve used Excedrine Migraine Migraine Headache and Tension Headache, but it doesn’t always work. even though you have any suggestions I would greatly appriciate it.

What types of foods prevent a migraine headache?

What types of foods prevent a migraine headache?
I suffer from migraine headaches. I usually get a really bad one right before I get my period. I remember reading somewhere that you can eat certain food and avoid others to help in the drop of hormones. I have high blood pressure so I can’t take birth control pills to help this.

certain cheeses, foods with nitrates/preserved meats and wines can aggravate migraines. I used to have them and got a med called Fiorinal or butalbitol for monthly migraines. don’t have them anymore since it’s gone now and don’t miss it either. they were unbearable.

What is the best migraine medication you have tried, and why is it the best?

What is the best migraine medication you have tried, and why is it the best?
I’ve had migraines off and on for years, due to a car accident. The last 2 years, the migraines have cropped up more often and my doctor will prescribe a migraine med for me to have on hand. The problem is, she says that they are all very similar.

So, the question for yahoo users is, in your personal migraine experiences, what prescription migraine medication worked best, and were there side effects, etc?

Thanks!

I have had migraines for 30 years. None are the best. The question is in finding the best one for you. You are the only one who can determine that. Ask the Doc. to prescribe the migraine abortive medications one at a time until you find the one that works best for you.

I personally use Imitrex. I have also tried Maxalt, Zomig and all of the others that I don’t remember the names of. Imitrex has been the best for me.

The key with any of these is to take them immediately, as soon as you realize that the pain is coming or expect that it is heading to migraine level. even though you wait until you have a full blown migraine, no medication will work.

Keep a daily headache diary when you try the new meds. At the end of a few days, or weeks depending on how often you get them, you will have the details for the Doctor. Help them to help you.

Best of luck.
