I normally put a cold damp towel not too wet but still dripping a little on my head covering my eyes and lying down in a dark room i also took sanomigraine not sure what the other name is psofen or something maybe but i was prescribesd this and it helped i had several migraines in a monthand were lasting 3 -4 days and as often as once or even two a week meaning i was ill all week with a little gap i foundi am dyslexic and the colour of the screen i was working on was one of my factors as well as eating cheese or having any other milk product to often and i love yoghurt maybe you should write down what you eat i know a few who suffer migraines even after eating fish or drinking fizzy pop so dont rue out anything late nights could be another stress or tension probmatic life eg partener etc education

I've had these migraines for years, thank goodness you don't get the pain only the auras. Medication is pretty muc trial and error thing depening on the person What works on one person will not necessary work on the other person. So just because it works on your friend doesn't necessary mean it will work on you. Topamax is used in people who have a lot of pain with their headaches. So it may not be a good medication for you. Talk to your doctor they will know the most about the various medications and try to find the right med for you. In my case nothing worked I just had to learn to live with it.
