Migraines What Prescriptions are good?

My daughter has migraines, it is basically trial and error.

They prescribe seizure medications often for migraines.

Right now she is on Midrin when she first feels one coming on. Maxsalt is another she has that is suppose to end it immediately at the onset. Imatrex never worked for her, they also tried other medications till she found these.

I feel your pain, I too am a migraine sufferer. I tried several migraine meds, including Imitrex, Amerge, and finally Frova. The Frova by far worked the best for me, stopping the migraine 80 to 90% of the time. The other two only worked maybe half the time and the reoccurance rate was higher with them than the Frova.

If you don't have access to a migraine medication, try taking 2 ibruprofen (Advil or Motrin) and 2 Excedrin Extra Strength or Excedrin Migraine tablets. That sometimes knocks the headache out. I would not take this mixture often, but if its an emergency and you need some relief, it will help. I got this combo out of a magazine that I receive that deals with migraine.

dont go after medications .find out any body has got benefiitted from this ,may be temporarily the pain may be suppressed ,but where is the permenant relief.

change your diet first .change into raw veg and fruits .try to take sweet fruits at night instead of cooked food.when ever migrane comes wash your head with water for ten minutes under normal temp water .

try to learn the pranayama or breathing exercise that will surely help with in one month or in two months .do it regularly for fifteen minutes in the mornign empty stomach .learn anuloma-viloma (Nadisuddi pranayama) learn by visiting the site www.divyayoga.com or the t.v channels mentoned in the site or by visiting or from a yoga teacher .sure cure.

To relief your migraine ,just rub the inside of a lemon skin on your forehead and temples, for 5 minutes,then relax with your feet above your head in a dark room.

i take imatrex, in the shot form only if my topamax doesn't work, which my topamax is great!! its not a 'fast acting' med, like the imitrex, but it works in 20-30 min and to me thats fast! I would start with topamax, since it goes in the lowest does, and up. A good side effect for me is the weight loss for the topamax. But hey, i need to loose weight and since november i have had only 3 migraines, so its doing its job!

There is a new development in migraine therapy, which has to do with patching a hole in your heart:

Imitrex is the best for migraines.

Good luck!
