start taking vitimin B complex pills...and a B6 pill too.  B6 is suppose to help with headaches, but it works best when you take all the B's...I don't remember why though.  Make sure to drink lots of water, more than 8 glasses a day.  If you want to spice it up...use something like Crystal light or some flavoured waters, but make sure you have lots of it.  There are things on the market to smell that are suppose to help get rid of headaches, but I have never tried them.  I cold cloth on the back of the next feels great when you have a headache.  Make sure that you are getting enough sleep, lack of sleep is horrible for headaches.  And, eating...relatively properly will help too.\nI hope these websites help too.  I have been suffering from headaches for years and I feel your pain...haha.  \nGood luck!\n:)

If you are constantly taking a medication to relieve or stop a headache, you need to go to a doctor.  The first step is determining what type of headache you have:  migraine, tension, or even sinus.  Depending on the type of headache it is, there are daily treatments that you can take to prevent the headaches.  They are very effective and can drastically reduce the number of headaches to start with.  \nNo, the dosage isn't toxic.  You do need to remember though, that those levels can build up and cause problems if you continue this on a long-term basis.  I certainly sympathize with you.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one

Avoid wine, cheese and chocolate.\n\ntry Excedrin\n\nImitrex is a great drug to stop pain but you need a prescription.\n\nTo stop having migraines, ask your doctor about Topomax or Depakote.

You don't want to go overboard - but some caffeine is allowed.  My pregnant cousin's doctor told her to drink cola or other drinks with caffeine to try and help get rid of headaches.

Lifestyle changes. Finding and avoiding things that cause headache is one way to reduce how often attacks happen and how painful they are. Your diet, the amount of stress in your life, and other lifestyle habits may add to getting migraines. Eating a healthful diet, quitting smoking, and reducing your alcohol intake may help improve your headaches. Learn stress reduction techniques and find other positive ways to cope with stress. Try to get on a regular sleep pattern.\n\nMedicine. There are two ways to approach the treatment of migraine headache with drugs: prevent the attacks, or relieve the symptoms during the attacks. Many people with migraine use both forms of treatment. Some medicines used to help prevent attacks include drugs that were designed to treat epilepsy and depression. To relieve symptoms during attacks, your doctor may start by telling you to take over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen. If these drugs don’t work to give you relief, your doctor can prescribe types of drugs called ergotamines or triptans. Ergotamines narrow the blood vessels, which helps the migraine’s throbbing pain. Triptans are new types of drugs that relieve pain by both narrowing blood vessels and balancing the chemicals in the brain. Hormone therapy may help some women whose migraines seem to be linked to their menstrual cycle. Work with your doctor to choose the best medicine for you.

i get rid of all my headaches by going into a dark room, turning on some white noise, like a fan and going to sleep.  Most headaches are caused by to much blood flowing through the blood vessels of your brain, causing the ache, if you hold your temples or where its aching and put slight pressure on the area that gives temporary relief, but i'd also try the cold compresses while your going to sleep.

Depends on what's causing the headache.  Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep).  If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

I suggest you get a High Density Negative Ion Generator.They are good for migraines and a lot of other things.I Tried the model (IG-133) and you would not believe how much better I feel in every way including migraines.I used to have migraines every day and after sleeping with one beside my bed about 3 to 5 feet from my head I no longer have migraines.They are really good.Check out the website below for more information on what they are good for and to purchase one.I think you will be pleasently surprised.There are also several other sites and to find them just type (negative ion generators)in Yahoo Search.There are cheap negative ion generators out there but don't waste your money on them because they don't put out enough negative ions and some put out ozone too,which you don't want.You need one that puts out at least in the millions.They are called High Density Negative Ion Generators.They cost around $150.00.I think everyone should own at least one.

Well, you need to be persuasive, so you need a great argument.  I have an idea, take asprin and Cola and combine to make an easy to take headache medicine that works faster because it's liquid, tastes great, and the caffeine speeds the asprin to relieve faster (like Excedrine or Bayer Back Relief)..

As far as homeopathic/natural things go-- I found that feverfew tea (or now I think they have tablets) was a natural ingredient that helped migraines.  I didn't like the tea, so this one didn't work that great for me.\n\nWhat really helped me, was to up my intake of B vitamins/niacin.  That did help me prevent/get ride of a significant number of migraines.\n\nGood luck-- I know they are pretty miserable.

Excedrin is a great over the counter medicine as it combines aspirin, acetaminophin, and caffeine.  You can also duplicate this at home...try having a cup of coffee (or a diet soda with caffeine) with tylenol or advil and see if that helps.  Also, if you're suddenly having migraines, you should go to the doc to see if there might be something more serious going on.  The doc can also prescribe migraine medications that can help, although they can be expensive.\n\nAnother thing that used to work for me was Sinutabs.  My migraines were sometimes sparked by swollen sinuses and that sometimes helped.  Try alternating hot and cold on your forehead and back of your neck.  \n\nEveryone who get migraines is unique.  You need to find your own best method.  Hopefully this gives you a couple of ideas to try.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMany Blessings,\nLilyth

Sleep. Advil. Ice.\nTalk to your doctor about medication. I'm on preventative for migraines.

When you have a headache like that, try standing under the shower in the hottest water you can stand. Let it run on the back of your neck. And about 6 advil if your stomach can take it.

Studies have shown that since the human body is made mostly of water.. If you have a headache, try drinking a glass of water..\n or two.. \n Also, have your eyes checked.and wear sunglasses while outside.
