How to get rid of a migraine headache?


I cried all night long and I've been suffering all day long from the worst migraine ever! I took a Motrin and an Excedrin Migraine pill and I've been laying in my dark quiet room all day. And nothing is helping! What can I do to make it go away?

If you want to stop a migraine headache with medicine, you have to take it as soon as it begins, at the first symptoms. when it is in full swing, you can't do much but rest in a dark quiet room.
there are a few things though, to make it bearable. You can give them a try:

1. take a 100 mg. capsule of 5-HTP(Tryptophan). You can take it again after about 2 hours.

2. You can put a hot compress( or hot water bottle. Get it from the pharmacy.) or an ice pack( Fill a ziplock bag with ice cubes, cover it with a hand towel, keep this where the head hurts.) whatever feels better. Everybody is different, some feel better with heat, others like cold.

Press the area between your thumb and first finger, with the thumb and first finger of the other hand. press it for a few seconds, then release it, then keep doing this until you feel better.

Gently, bite on your tongue, for a few seconds, release, repeat for some time.
Take 300 to 400 mg. of magnesium(preferably magnesium citrate.

Hope this helps
