I've had a migraine since yesterday! I've had tramadol. Paracetamol. Diclofenac and an abtihistimine I've had prescribed for migraines. It won't go away.... Can anybody suggest anything
Further to take? I've taken these meds over the course of the day staggering them so I'm not over dosing myself . Thanks in advance

Something with triptan in - I have prescription for wafers but think some of the migralieve brand have sumatriptan in too but check with pharmacist. Nothing else shifts mine - I feel your pain Hmm

Herbal teas, cold flannel for your forehead, dark room - no tv or bright lights from computers or phones. Relaxing bath if possible.

take lots and LOTS of water with the meds - they can actually have the opposite effect if you don't have enough.

Migraine yet
