ORIGINAL: OsideGirl 3) When a migraine starts, I take 2 tylenol, an espresso and reduce the amount of light. This usually puts an abrupt end to migraines that are my levels 1 and 2. A shout-out for Excedrin, which is a combo of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. Not as yummy as an espresso, but definitely more portable. And it works for me. I'm highly allergic to aspirin, so no Excedrin for me. quote:
ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Imitrex is also great for some, sucky for others. Imitrex does nothing for me except make me feel like there are bugs under my skin. My best friend swears by it. quote:
ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Years ago, my doctor went through all kinds of meds. Then we discovered that if I catch it early enough, 1000mg of Ibuprofen, wait 20 minutes, then stand in a hot shower for as long as I can letting the water beat on my head (alternating between my eyes and the nape of my neck) and then laying down will usually take care of it. Migraines are a very odd thing because they're so individual. There can be so many triggers and so many different types. Most of us that have something that works, have gone through trial and error before we found that something. Everyone is so different and reacts differently. So, really she needs to go to the DR to get a diagnosis and to get a label for her migraine. Then she needs to figure what works to alleviate her migraine before it gets to the prescription stage and it's going to be a lot of misses with a few hits.
