This week has been a really rough one for me and my migraines. I take Maxalt, a decent prescription med that usually helps kick the migraine, no luck this week though. Over the counter meds have never come close to relieving my migraines, so i don't even bother attempting that route.

I'd recommend working with a neurologist to get the right meds that help contain your pain. There are also, of course, simple tips given to avoid migraines from worsening. Like: Avoid loud noises, bright lights, under-eating, get exercise ~ but don't push yourself too hard, work through stress, avoid alcohol, coffee and soft-drinks.

Best wishes sent your way...
