What should i do to get myself better from my migraine headaches ?
I was previously diagonosed with migraine headaches & verdigo about 2 years ago and my doctor gave medication and it seem to help back then but it is killing me with a lot pain right now. On the scale of 10 being worse and 1 nothing at all, i rate my painess about 8. What can i do to get myself better ?

1. dark room, very little to no sound and try to sleep it off. in some cases a high dose of caffeine will help it as well. i usually drink a monster and take 2 excedrine.2. Try a cold wash cloth over your forehead.
Feel better
3. Take a cold soda can and put it on your head 5-10 minutes. That may help a bit.
4. i had THE worst migraine last week. omg! what i did was take 2 Fiorcet, which are prescription pills. it's pretty much tylenol with caffeine. then i went into my bedroom, put the blankets over my head & slept. you can use an ice pack at the base of your skull, too.
feel better soon!
5. Until you can talk to your doctor and let he or she know the meds. are no longer working, I would take excedrine migraine, it's not that stong but it's better than nothing. Lay down in a dark room with no noise, and if it helps even a little use whatever your doctor previously gave you. Good luck migraines are miserable. Physical therapy ended up taking mine away for over a year now.
6. You should try to get your hands on some Midrin. It is the cure-all for anything headache-related for me. In most states it isn't a fully controlled substance so you can actually get it from one of those new drugstore clinics(like Walgreens take care, CVS minute clinic). Or you can wait and see your regular doctor and ask for some tomorrow. You can also order it online. It's basically a combination pill with tylenol, a muscle relaxant, and vein adjustor to take away the pain and calm you down.
7. I agree. Epidrin (Midrin) is amazing because it works in 3 different ways. Only side affect is it does have the ability to become addictive
