What medicine do you take when you have Migraine?

I get migraines frequently. I take Fioricet. It was prescribed originally by my family physician and then by my OBGYN. I take it as needed 1-2 tablets every 4 hours. It is the best medication I have taken for my migraines so far. If I run out I take 3 excedrin migraine tablets. But Fioricet is by far the best. It is a combination of Butalbital, Acetaminophen and caffeine tablets. It generally kicks in really quickly. Normally within the first 20-30 minutes I am feeling much better.

Well, i dun have migraine and i dun really trust medicines.. I prefer to self cure and prevent myself from falling sick too :) But i do know, when one suffer from migraine, the feeling is unbearable and it's very painful especially at the temple there..

I like to smoke some herbs to relax me and keep my mind off of the mirgraine... i get into other things and stop thinking about the pain and focus my mind on something eles

I take nurofen plus but sometimes that doesnt work sometimes I have to give in and go and lie down in a dark room. I hate it when you get so ill you feel sick and dizzy and cannot move your head at all. Migraines are nasty nasty things and they run in my family my mum and brother suffer from them. Sorry to hear you do as well.

i get migraine alot an have tried lots of diffrent medicines for it the only one that really works for me is migraleve the ingrediants of this is each tablet contains paracetamol 520mg codeine phosphate 8mg buclizine hydrochloride 6.25mg an i take two nearly every day its so depressing isnt it.

advil or tylonol they both work and take away your hedaqche

Well tbh one good thign about being a kid is I about never get a headache lol.But yeah even when i do I don't take anythign since if I do the side effects of the pill is actually worse than a headache :P.I mean come on read the back of those things.....

I usually take sinus medication when I get a migraine. I find I'm usually responding to changes in pressure, and the sinus meds really help. Any brand will do.

The medicine i sometimes take is maxalt.It's hard for me to translate what's in the medicine but it works within an hour and when i have been using the 5 pills i received the migraine stays away for a very long time like half a year to a year.

I have taken a couple of prescription migraine medicines and they didn't really work for me. Now I usually just take over the counter Excederin Migraine. The ingredients are: Acetaminophen, Aspirin and Caffeine. People with reactions to aspirin should not take this. Children should NEVER be given aspirin due to Reye's Syndrome.

i dont usually take medicine except if its doctor prescribed because i have an allergy in some medicine content.when i have headache or migraine i just drink coffee or milk and then take a nap and when i wake up its gone.do you know that medicines can ruin your liver because they have this content that is purely chemical and not natural that our liver cant contain?therefore it just stays there until our liver is poisoned,so better get an alternetive natural medicine than take in some chemical induced ones or be sorry when time comes.

it is better to keep away of medicines for such kind of pains. naturally pain killers will effect body later. if you depend on these type of medicines for awhile is not advisable. if you have the way to do meditation and relaxation techniques, helps you to get away from these medicines. i am sure that from the last 2 years i hadn't taken any medicine. i just used 4 or 5 pain killers for my pains. use more liquid food. just feel free in a way so that you can divert your unbreakable thoughts, which result in migraine.

If I'm in school, I drink paracetamol. But if I'm at home, I just sleep. :D

I have had migraines for about 15 years now, they are not nice at all. I remember being taken to the ER and getting a shot, not nice either. Some of mine are from my neck, so if i can get to the chiroprator he can fix it. Some are not from the neck. Stress plays a big part in mine. I don't like taking med's, someday i will have to but for now i will go natural if i can. I take B12 for my migraines. Liquid is the best, gets into the blood right now vs. a pill form. I remember getting one and there was a snow storm, we owned a cafe, it was noon hour and i couldnt' see where the food was on the plate, my hubby said i can't get you to the hospital with this storm, so there i was. I tryed my b12, did four doses, it was the kind you mix with water, layed my head on the counter for about 20 min and it was gone, i worked a 13 hour day that day and could not believe it. I knew that i had had a migraine that day but my body was doing pretty good. I go nowhere without my b12.

Sometimes I take a painkiller such as paracetamol, aspirin, or ibuprofen at the first sign of an attack. And if possible , I will lie down in a dark, quiet room with pillows to support my head. Then try to sleep. I will sip water throughout the day, especially if I have been vomiting. And if I am out in bright daylight, I will wear sunglasses.
