Well, Darn

Migraines suck. A lot.

I'll be back when it doesn't feel like I've got an icepick in my eye.

Also, if anyone's had any luck with any serious migraine meds, I'd love to hear what they are. The Maxalt is only being fitfully effective these days.

I used Imtrex for years, in all its forms (nasal, injection, pill), but it stopped working for me about 2 years ago. Now I take Fioricet. Works 95% of the time if I catch it early.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

I sympathize and hope your migraine is under control, soon!
The only triptan that works for me is Relpax. And I hope it keeps on working!

Poor you! Sending good thoughts and hope it's over soon. *careful hugs*

Mine aren't nearly as bad as yours, but I find that if I wake up with a migraine, two cups of filter coffee, a hot shower, and two painkillers ( excedrin(sp?), ibuprofen) in quick succession often helps a lot.

I don't know if you can buy it in your country but in the UK Syndol used to work wonders for me. I think they changed it slightly a few years ago, but it's still more effective than any other over the counter painkillers.

For me the only thing that has ever worked is Axert. They're expensive as all hell, but worth it to get rid of that icepick.

Feel better!

Migraines are horrendous. Much sympathy and gentle hugs. I hope the bugger goes quickly.

I'm sorry petal, I hope you're feeling a bit better today. ♥

I have a couple of colleagues who get migraines pretty badly. I'll ask them what they use and if it's anything different from what people have already listed here, I'll be back.

Oh luv, I hope you feel better today *hugs you carefully*.

That does suck :(
Prescribing working the way it does in the UK, none of these trade names are familiar to me and migraines are something I know relatively little about, so I'm afraid I have no advice to add, but I will send a virtual Jason and Howard for a soothing massage and good wishes ♥ I hope it passes really soon *hugs again*
