Usually, aspirin manages my normal headaches fine (the only OTC product that has ever worked, tried it all). For migraines, the Fiorecet has mostly always worked....but not anymore, maybe? 
I've tried Imitrex, this/that, the other thing....pretty much all of it. But haven't tried anything new in about 3-4 years now.
Does anyone else go thru this? What do you do to help? Any suggestions on migraine meds? |
I also deal with migraines- they run in my family (my grandmother, my mother, and me all suffer with them).
I haven't found anything that works either- Relpax, Imitrex, etc. The only thing that takes the edge off is Excedrin Migraine, a totally dark room, and an ice cold wash cloth on my temples and neck. Not always possible obviously.
Relpax seems to be one of the new thing they are trying on most people- I have heard great things about it from some people- but it did nothing for me, or my mother.
