I have been getting migraines most of my life. They have gotten worse as I age. One sister and one brother have gone through the same thing. I have never been to the ER because it costs too much, I have to get a ride and the next day I might experience the same pain and often do. Right now I have not been without a migraine below a 5 since the beginning of last week. I use promethazine then take a zomig and lay down. It lowers it and at night I take L-tryptophan, melatonin, 5-HTP , valerian or ambien. I wish I had an answer to your migraine pain. I do know that stressing out only makes it worse. No lights no sound in a dark room and try to sleep. I can't lay down with a migraine, need to sit up with pillows.............sucks. I haven't had a cup of coffee in years, no booze, rarely chocolate, no tea, no salt etc. I'm probably just making you depressed..........wish I had the answer for everyone in pain! You are NOT alone!:grouphug:

Taken so much Motrin and Aleeve it's probably doing god knows what to my stomach.
I know it can't be good, because I am also taking a lot of Promethazine (prescription nausea medicine)...
and today, it's not doing it's job. I am soooo nauseous! The pain got bad and I got so desperate for relief
last night I took a Loritab. Not even that worked!!!! Today, I just now took 800mg Motrin AND a Loritab. Ugh!!!
I am so flippin nauseous I want to puke my guts out, and I don't know if it because the pain is so bad,
or because I took too many meds... or both.
I JUST WANT RELIEF!!!!! I take 250mg of Depakote every night.
It's supposed to be a "migraine preventative"... yeah, right!
I don't have another appointment with my doctor until probably sometime in October
(I was supposed to call and set it up for "early October", but our phone got turned off)
UGH... part of me wants to go to the ER and get Intravenous relief, but I know it's not good to run to that every time I hurt...
not to mention it is expensive!
:soapbox: :bawling:
