What are some good remedies for migraines?

What is good advice or personal remedies for treating migraines that has worked for you?

  • Odd time to ask for advice but the regular migraines are killing me. I've been to the doctor and not much helps and I don't like the idea of becoming dependent on pain medication. What do Answerbaggers suggest that has worked for them personally? If I wanted google results I could do that myself, but I want to know what has worked for you, so use your own words and examples.

  • Answer:

    My mom used to have terrible migraines and was helped greatly by the drug Fiorinal. She never became dependent and only takes it when needed which is, thank goodness, very rarely these days.

Oh fruitpunch my friend so sorry to hear, I hate migraines. Well many things, a nice hot soak in a hot tub, some excedrin migraine(hit or miss there), a simple lie down, and sleep with a sleep blind, and earplugs. or (sorry for being so blunt) have a good f@#k, or rub one out. crt screens, tv's, or anything with a refresh rate of less than 80hz can aggravate migraines, same with bright light. also some soothing music at a low volume can help too. If it's real bad, id suggest a doctor, bro. these are all going on my experience of migraines. I dont know if everything, or anything will work. I hope you feel better.

The last time I had a migrane that wouldn't go away with a hot soak in the bath tub, excedrine and sleep I went to the doctor. He gave me a shot of morphine, and one of promethegin (sp?) for the nausea. Worked like a charm. Normally the hot bath and enough sleep takes enough of the edge off so that I can function though.
