If possible, go against the cause and do not risk extra trouble with such medicine. What to do?\n\nWell, there is the fairly new Swiss method "Atlasprofilax" to really get rid of your migraine - in ONE treatment.\nNo medicine, only a manual treatment in a continuous movement. Invest 220 Dollars* and enjoy your new life!\n\n(*plus a trip to California or to Europe, actually, because it's not yet common in the US)\n\nI'm absolutely convinced of the method, have sent more than 30 people there personally and probably many more by www. Until now there is a 100% positive feedback.\n\nThe homepage is nothing to be proud of, but the treatment is! :-)

Codeine.\nSome claim Butterburr extract can help. It is available at the health food store. But, I don't find it or other remedies strong enough for Migraines. There are some products in health food stores that can lessen the severity. I find that codeine helps more than anything, I have ever used. You must get a prescription in the U.S. for Fioricet to obtain codeine pills. But it is available, over-the-counter in any pharmacy, in many countries. In England, there are about 10 products, such as "Migraleve", available in a pharmacy with codeine. There are many products on ebay, sometimes they even work, but watch out most are junk.

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.

That decision can only be made by you and your doctor.  I have been advised not to stop mine.  Never had migraines until my hysterectomy.  They are now under control but removing the estrogen could cause them to become uncontrollable again.  So, it was determined by the doctor that I say on it.\n\nPlease have a frank discussion with your doctor to find out what he/she thinks is the appropriate course of action for you.

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.

Many physicians believe that exercise for 15-20 minutes per day is helpful for reducing the frequency of migraines.\n\nAt least two British studies have shown a relationship between the use of eyeglasses containing prism and a reduction in migraine headaches.\n\nThe plant feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a traditional herbal remedy believed to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. Clinical trials have been carried out, and appear to confirm that the effect is genuine (though it does not completely prevent attacks).\n\nKudzu root (Pueraria lobata) has been demonstrated to help with menstrual migraine headaches and cluster headaches. While the studies on menstrual migraine assumed that kudzu acted by imitating estrogen, it has since been shown that kudzu has significant effects on the serotonin receptors. Kudzu Monograph at Med-Owl.\n\nCannabis has been reported to help people through an attack by relieving the nausea and dulling the head pain. There is some indication that semi-regular use may reduce the frequency of attacks. Further studies are being conducted.\n\nMassage therapy and physical therapy are often very effective forms of treatment to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. However, it is important to be treated by a well-trained therapist who understands the pathophysiology of migraines. Deep massage can trigger a migraine attack in a person who is not used to such treatments. It is advisable to start sessions as short in duration and then work up to longer treatments.

Try Wellbutrin XL, got of the other Zoloft b/c of the same thing, and the new med works good. Just keep an eye on it and switch slowly, reducing one while adding the other.

First of all, I am sorry you have to go through the pain. It is horrendous at times. I have suffered from migraines since '95. I have tried everything from prescriptions to vitamins to changing my dietary habits. I didn't want to rely on prescriptions alone, so if you have Tension Migraines which start from your shoulders/neck and works itself up then a quick way would be a shoulder/neck massage. Shower massagers also work just as good. If you have some Eucylptus Oil/Menthol Rub/Sports Creme massage your neck and shoulders first, then a hot shower. It loosens your muscles. Multi Vitamins as well. At any Health/Vitamin Store ask the clek for Fever Few in the gel capulets. This also works for Migraines. There is also Excedrin Migraine or even Excedrin Tension Headache this works good too if you can catch the Migraine in time. \n\nFor the long term, you might want to ask your doctor to have a blood test if you hadn't already had one. From my blood results, I was low on potassium. I am also a coffee drinker, so unfortunately the caffeine triggers mine as well. Stress is also a big factor. \n\nHope you feel better soon!

I don't know of anything immediate, but I could offer you this from our experiences.  We have used this remedy with phenomenal long term success.  My husband rarely gets migraines anymore.  They used to partially blind and nauseate him.  We saw neurologists, etc.\n\nI found this really easy information from a slew of holistic books:\n\n.  Eat plenty of turkey or chicken for the typtophan.\n.  Take vitamin B complex for the folic acid.  \n.  Add rosemary or thyme 3 - 4 times a week to your menu preparations.\n\nThe combination works.  We are amazed.\n\nGood luck.\n\n\nEdit:  Whoops, I meant niacin not folic acid, both of which you will get in a B complex vitamin.

B-Complex vitamins and magnesium work for some people.I read about it in Prevention Magazine and told several people and it worked for some.A negative ion generator(negative ionizer)is also supposed to work for migraine headaches as well as a lot of other things,including depression.

Topamax works great on migraines. You just have to find the dosage that is right for you. I was up to 400mg a day, but it does cause a lot of side effects. Need more info e-mail me. lkarr1979@aol.com

I don't know but I want the same thing.  I have been taking it for 2 years and it cost me $25.00/month to get them.  My doctor put me on them for migraines and chronic insomnia and they are the best thing I have taken.

If you suffer from serious migranes and excedrin, tylenol, or advil don't work. Go to your physican and get a prescription for Imitrex. It's like a super pill. You're migrane is gone in about a 1/2 hour. I've been on them for a few years, and my migranses have gone from every 2 days and having to go to the hospital for a pain med. drip to having maybe 2 migranes a month and all I have to do is pop an IMITREX drink 2 glasses of water and relax for 45 minutes

600-800 milligrams of ibuprofen will work for me, if anything is going to.  Sometimes with a migraine, it just has to "wear out".  And the effective medication seems to be very individual--the same thing doesn't work for everyone.  Sometimes pressure on the worst pain spot, or a cold wet washcloth, and lying down seem to help.
