Migraine treatment suggestions?

seratonin just so happens to be the only way we have of treating migraines besides simply using crude painkillers...such as the barbituate/caffiene/tylenol combo your taking now.

caffiene MAY help some by itself... but not as an everyday thing since youll build a tolerance.

Now I don't have migraines anymore, but I used to. I am also not bi-polar. But...I tried a chiropractor for the pain in my neck shoulders low back and the headaches. I have been going for a year now and I have not had a migraine in 5 months. I did have a light headache last night, but once my neck popped(after lying on a neck roll, a rolled up towel) the pain was instantly gone.

I would suggest either going to a masseuse for a massage or seeing a chiropractor. A chiropractor can take ex-rays that Will tell you if there is a problem with a pinched nerve or a disc out of place. These can cause headaches. None of these options would interfere with your blood pressure or other meds for the b-polar condition.

My nephew is bi-polar so I know how difficult that is to deal with. Some meds only make him worse. Unfortunately, I am not a Dr. and do not have any drug info to help you with. But, you could try, chamomile tea, melatonin, passion flower, as they help you relax. They may help relieve your pain as you relax. I have been told that caffeine helps with headaches, although it did not help me at all.

Hope this helps some, Good luck!

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic. Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it. Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see. Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole. Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk, rice and good sleep will help you. But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong. If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
