Sometimes 12-hour Sudafed helps (the original kind you have to sign for, not the PE version), and you can take plain Alleve along with Excederin migraine. The drugs in these two products are complimentary and they do not interact. This is the best you can do without seeing a doctor, but it not the best long term solution. The best thing to do in the long term is visit the doc to get a prescription for one of the migraine medications (Topamax, Imitrex, Relpax, Zomig, or several others) - these drugs can work miracles for some people. They can either prevent the migraines from occurring, or stop them within a few minutes, depending on the drug. Health Question & Answer
Sounds like you just have a severe tension headache. I'll tell you what - if you had a migraine you would not be able to sit at a screen and type anything. You can't even open your eyes because the light hurts them. And there is nausea involved.
However I get bad tension headaches too - I would recommend seeing a doctor because they can prescribe you a muscle relaxant and a more powerful drug than excedrin. It's usually a bad cycle because when your head hurts like that you can't sleep and without enough sleep your headache gets worse. So with a good muscle relaxant and strong pain med you should be able to get some nice rest and then wake up sans headache.Health Question & Answer

That doesn't sound like a migraine. With a migraine, you can't even get online. You just curl up in the dark and cry. Light and sound hurt. The sound of the keys tapping would hurt...but I digress.
I think you need vicodin. I'm not joking. Exedrin migraine.? What a joke! That does about as much for my headaches as kool aid would. Nothing.
If you have access to vicodin, take a half or one, and if you have it, use some Head On or put some Icy Hot on your head and neck. (Keep it out of your eyes, of course, though.) Drink some gatorade because if your headache has anything at all to do with dehydration, it will help. Then, go somewhere dark and quiet, like to bed.
Good luck. I hope you feel better.Health Question & Answer

i find my migraines always go along with digestive block, and need to vomit. i usually take 2 teaspoons of baking soda with water and chug it no matter how disgusting it is. usually i feel relief right away.Health Question & Answer
