  1. Have you tried excrdrin Migraine? Its the only over the counter medication that works for me.  It doesnt take my headache away very quickly, but if i take some and lay down for awhile, usually when i wake up i will atleast be able to function, when if i dont take anything my headaches can sometimes last for days.  


  2. When I first saw my neurologist for migraine, he suggested taking two paracetamol at the very first sign of an attack, to stop the 'chain reaction' of pain letting it become something much worse.  He said that works in most cases. And sometimes it did.

    Now I take Topamax (which he prescribed) and it's brilliant -- it's worked very effectively.  But the paracetamol you can try first on your own and it won't do your body any damage in the way that e.g. ibuprofen can, if you take no more than 8 a day.

    The neurologist also suggested that very few migraines are caused by diet, and I've found that variously giving up dairy/wheat/caffeine/alcohol over the years hasn't helped the headaches at all. I suppose it can't hurt to try, but it didn't help me, and my doctor suggested this was right. So maybe there's no need to make yourself more miserable than you already feel if it's not as likely to help.

    I would recommend seeing a specialist as soon as you can.

    Best of luck!
