hi everyone hope this is ok posted in here,ive suffered migranes now for atleast 4 years and well ive come out of work as can no longer work because the pain is un bareable most times,well my doctor gives me tablets to help ibroufen and propanol but my pains are still there and they are really doing my head in,i seem to always come out of the rooms my familys in because of the ni#oise that kids make,has anyone got any ideas of what else i can look into doing please?these are bad and wake me up in the night and are really stressing me out now,please anyone with any info would be great.have you suffered with them and have you got rid of them if so what done it for you :confused:

I've suffered with migraines off and on for about 10 years. Someone I worked with about 7 years ago told me about Excedrin For Migraines (not the regular Excedrin).

I bought some it worked and has always worked on those in front cluster type migraines for me.

They've woke me out of sleep and I don't like light or loud noise when I have one. The Excedrin For Migraines usually knocks them within 15 minutes for me.

Have you tried that?

I have been on several different types of presciptions and none has really worked very well for me either. Do you get any type of warning when you are about to get one? I have found that if I take two Excedrin (either the Extra strength or the one the PP just mentioned) along with a Coke (or anything with caffeine) and a benadryl or a dose of Dimetapp as soon as I get the distored vision I can stop the nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and noise and really lessen the pain. If you do not get the warnings you might still want to try it. I am pretty convinced that the Benadryl is what stops the other symptoms. I have also found that as far as the pain is concerned a squirt or two of nasal spray can help.

no i dont get a warning they just come so fast and i think sh t not this again
where would i get these from plz Excedrin is it a spray or tablet?do you have to take daily if so how many a day to keep them away please?anythings worth a go as my doctor just gives me pain killers.

can i get these on prescription?and do they cause any damage to the body like normal tablets?

Excedrin is an over the counter medication. You only take it when you have the headache. It is not a preventive. You could still try it and if you have the other symptoms I would add the Benadryl too. Some people do respond fine even when they don't catch it before the pain hits.
