regular tylenol isnt cutting it and i need to go to class

head on, apply directly to the forehead

[Edited on January 22, 2007 at 10:54 AM. Reason : but honestly, excedrin migraine has worked well for me in the past]

1/22/2007 10:53:45 AM

turn on the lights really bright.

1/22/2007 10:58:20 AM

If you don't have a prescription, Excedrin. I've had migraines since I was six, and I can tell you that it's the only OTC medication that works.

sweet, i rarely get headaches but this is so bad i skipped my morning class.

1/22/2007 11:07:28 AM

getting a blowjob helps

"head on, apply directly to the forehead "

the reason this works and i know / b/c i had some is that it makes your forehead feel like its melting off

the first time i used it i thought i was having an allergic reaction to it

burned like a bastard

1/22/2007 11:18:51 AM

i usually take 600-800mb of ibuprofen (tho not on an empty stomach) for the bad ones and drink some water.

1/22/2007 11:42:05 AM

my girlfriend always says motrin works best for her. even better than excedrin migraine.



i bet bayer aspirin would be a good choice as well

This is my headache smashing combo. It's got all the key ingredients that are legal. It seems to help with migraines as well.

1/22/2007 12:09:54 PM

a prescription for depakote

1/22/2007 12:13:09 PM

^^ that sounds like a plan

1/22/2007 12:18:45 PM

^^^I'm going to try that next time.

but usually I just sleep

1/22/2007 12:45:36 PM

My wife gets migraines fairly often and she uses Excedrin and often uses a Wellpatch. As the name states its a patch you put on your forehead and she loves it.

1/22/2007 12:46:11 PM

Coffee...any caffein works for me.

1/22/2007 6:13:07 PM

I like excedrin migraine ... you'd think it's the same as regular excedrin but it does seem to be different. My Mom gave me some one time and I told her excedrin doesn't work but took it anyway, but after it worked she told me it was the migraine one

if I don't have that I like naproxen sodium.

1/22/2007 6:57:48 PM

^^^^^ i look for one of those two things when i have a bad headache. almost always works.

1/22/2007 7:45:55 PM

sleeeeeeeeeeeeep

1/22/2007 7:54:45 PM

Excedrin Migraine FTW

but I get the Target brand because it is cheaper

each caplet has 250mg Acetaminophen, 250mg Aspirin, and 65mg Caffeine, and the dose is 2 caplets

1/22/2007 8:00:45 PM

Acetaminophen does nothing but make my migraines worse. I don't know why.

I usually take any of the various triptans, depending on what I have a free sample of.

1/22/2007 8:13:46 PM

pot

1/22/2007 8:16:15 PM

ill agree excedrin migraine works well. i usually have a goody's in my wallet though since i get them fairly often, if you take one of those EARLY ENOUGH it usually makes it milder or gets rid of it all togther if its not a bad one, they work WAY faster than pills too if youre in a hurry.

1/22/2007 8:44:03 PM

Cure the disease, not the symptoms.

1/22/2007 8:52:10 PM

take two excedrin migraine or even the tension headache ones if it starts to hurt down your neck, after that take a nap if it's possible in a dark room. A warm or cool (whichever you prefer) compress will sometimes help too.

But for me I have to take something and then go to sleep for it to go away . . I actually have a bitching headache right now

1/22/2007 9:38:44 PM

if you feel the ridge right underneath your eyebrow you will find a little notch. a vein runs through that notch and supplies blood to the brain. if you press the notch hard for 5-10 mins you will release endorphins which will take the pain away. natural enorphins are stronger than morphine.

1/22/2007 9:57:18 PM

sleep.
excedrin migraine.

I have had migraine problems for over 10 years now. Those are the only two things that help me.

1/22/2007 9:58:13 PM

i took some goodies pm (sleep aid instead of caffeine) and took a nap and when i could take some more medicine i took excedrine and it did the trick.

1/22/2007 9:59:15 PM

I get headaches for the strangest reasons, I hate it
If it's about to rain, I'll get a headache (sometimes a day or two before it's supposed to rain) and it won't go away until it starts raining.
I'll get a headache if it's really bright and sunny out, like clear skies and bright sun, or if it's a clear, hot or cold, sunny day. *le sigh*

Weather changes are one of the most common causes of migraines.

1/23/2007 2:02:55 AM

when i was younger, like in elementary school and middle school (they slowly got further apart as a got older) i used to get them a LOT. i would have to come home and take something and get in bed with a cold cloth on my head. i would sleep for about 30 mins, wake up a puke twice and go back to bed for 2 hours. same thing every time without fail.

1/23/2007 2:43:40 AM

Any of the headache powders...like goodies or whatever. It's almost straight caffeine. Take it with a Dr. Pepper and it won't taste so bad. It'll knock a migraine out.

1/23/2007 6:55:23 AM

imitrex 50mg, its amazing... oh, and goodys, bc et al eats your stomach lining. its very bad for you and can cause internal bleeding.

1/23/2007 8:37:20 AM

2 advil
2 aleve
1 red bull

Takes care of most anything for me, but I wouldn't do this unless you weighed over 175. This is according to an emergency room nurse, and I trust her judgement.

1/23/2007 8:48:09 AM

15 beers

1/23/2007 9:43:32 AM

2 Advil/ibuprofen
2 aspirin
water/Gatorade
some kinda caffeine (less carbonation)

that and darkness usually does it for me.....

then again i also usually fall asleep which also helps

haha, you stash away some Vitamin-M while you were on active duty or something?

1/23/2007 10:09:49 AM

lol mg chief not mb.....


800 is the max single dose you should take (stomach and intestinal problems increase over this) with 3200mg / day max.... not recommended to sustain this...

http://www.drugs.com/mtm/ibuprofen.html

don't mix large doses of things.... my thing is low dosage stuff so it shouldn't have any problems...

mixing ibuprofen and asprin is ok just don't expect heart benefits! ibuprofen blocks the effect...

1/23/2007 10:13:51 AM

hahaha - I still have some vitamin-M kicking around. they gave that stuff out like candy on halloween.

got a fever? vit-M
upset stomach? vit-M
broken leg? vit-M

1/23/2007 11:23:30 AM

For long-term prevention, you should try Migravent.

http://www.migravent.com/

You have to order them, though. From what I understand, the ones sold in stores are not the same mixture.

1/23/2007 12:23:11 PM

case of brews

1/23/2007 12:29:20 PM

600-800MEGABYTES of ibuprofen

Foreheadpatch?

1/23/2007 1:03:06 PM

I take imitrex for mine, and it works like a charm, so long as I take it before the headache becomes full blown, like when I start seeing auras and other crazy shit. (not everyone gets those, but mine are pretty trippy)

1/23/2007 2:55:58 PM

Vitamin M is slang in the military for an 800mg Motrin horse-pill that, along with a suitable number of canteens of water, can fix nearly any ailment.

1/23/2007 3:38:26 PM

ahhaha i love the vitamin M

and you're right. be it strep throat, broken leg, or even fuckin heat exhaustion, they gave me a prescription for the 800mg ibuprofen.

i've still got bottles and bottles of it.

1/23/2007 3:43:37 PM

i don't get them... but saw this on the vast internets
