Reddit mentions: The best migrain relief medication

I take this supplement http://www.amazon.com/Migraine-Relief-Migravent-Supplement-Migravent-Proprietary/dp/B001HBT7PK every day, it was recommended by my neurologist. It definitely helps with the intensity of my migraines and has lifted the daily "fog" that I used to get (kind of felt like a migraine was around the corner all the time)

If you have a desk job I very highly recommend that you have an occupational therapist come in and set up your desk to minimize tension in your back and neck (do it at home, too if you spend a lot of time at the computer there). Use screen filters, and get a good pair of migraine specs (I have Theraspecs and love them).

A lot of people are hesitant to see a therapist about this kind of thing, but it was extremely helpful for me. Developing coping methods is incredibly beneficial. Same with biofeedback - learning to relax and focus when a migraine is happening, and focusing on tension release when they aren't happening is also very helpful. This sounds completely silly, but it works SO well for me - I imagine little sheep jumping over my toes in tune with my heartbeat, I jump them over my entire body in my mind from my toes, all the way to my head, and I slow the tempo of my "sheep" down as I go. It really helps to reduce heart rate and anxiety, and takes the focus off of the pain and discomfort. Intensely focusing on heart rate and trying to bring it down.

Another non-medicinal thing I did a few years back was to get a sleep study. It wasn't just about finding something wrong with the sleeping pattern - it's about improving your schedule and dialing in your sleep hygiene. Sleep is hugely important for many reasons, including migraines. Especially for migraines.

Hope you have some luck!

If you don't already, I'd definitely recommend that you get a prescription for sumatriptan. For me, it's been a lifesaver. It's an abortive medication, so it won't prevent the migraine from happening, but it is very effective for making a migraine go away once it has started.

Other than that, there's not much to say. Everyone's migraine triggers are different. Could be any number of things, but a few worth investigating:

• Vitamin deficency. Some people seem to have pretty good success treating this with a supplement like Migravent
  
  
• If you wake up with a headache every morning, it could have something to do with your sleep (clenching you jaw, perhaps)
  
  
• Blue light exposure late at night, possibly.
  
  
• Anything else. Sorry, there are so many triggers. You could try keeping a journal to see if you can detect any patterns
  

Very good point! My doctor also recommended Butterbur, so I was looking into that: https://www.amazon.com/Migraine-Relief-Neurologists-Recommended-Proprietary/dp/B001HBT7PK/ref=sr_1_34?keywords=butterbur&qid=1571936314&sr=8-34

If you get a migraine in the meantime put an ice pack on the back of your neck and see if that helps. Mine are chronic so I have this nifty IceKap that works wonders but a regular ice pack may be enough for you. There is also a menthol gel called Stopain Migraine that may help as well, it works wonders for my sister when she gets headaches or the odd migraine.

Aleve is for amateurs.

I take one of these a day and have not had a migrane in over a year. Has magnesium.

I really hope these are paid marketers and not actual proof how dumb man has become

When Zofran the hospital prescribes gives you a head ache the best thing is probably using something like this:

Ninja edit: Zofran is a high powered anti nausea medication. It's used frequently in cases of food poisoning so you can keep liquids down to stop the expelling of fluids thus preventing life threatening dehydration. It causes really bad headaches
