Tried Heat Compresses? Work great for me.

Tried hot shower only thing it did was make me hot....don't have a heating pad.....

I take Geodon... What pain relievers CANT we have?

I have a prescription for Naproxen Sodium (I think that is Aleve) and I take Geodon.

Princes, with your sleeping problems, are you sure caffeine this late at night is a good idea? Do you have any benzos? I find that benzos + aspirin help a bit...

i use ice packs on my neck and head. i can only take tylenol and aspirin and they do nothing for my headaches.... when its really really bad, i take an ibuprofen. it hasnt hurt me yet.

Take a couple of tylenol and with a cup of coffee. The combo of the caffeine and tylenol have been known to help. I also do ice on the back of my neck. I have nasty migraines that have caused trips to the hospital. If nothing works, call your GP. Your GP can give you some emergency meds. Have they looked at imitrex or anything in that class? I take zomig and it works much better than pain meds.

Thanks everyone.....I have sleep issues so caffiene this late at night is probably not the best idea. I think I am gonna try and sleep it off. Won't be able to go to sleep till hubby is home though because my anxiety is peaking tonight because of stress and I locked the hubby out.....We can't have ibuprofen or aspirin.

Harriet.....no benzos allowed by my pdoc and can't have aspirin....

ice at the back or your head on your neck and a cool cloth over your eyes can help a great deal as well if the sleep doesn't take it away.

I've had migraines terribly since i was in 6th grade (38 now). I then started taking topomax every day (2008) and my migraines have been reduced dramatically (can you take Topomax on Geodon?) When i do get one i take an Immitrex; however, my new pdoc told me this:

To reduce migraines drink water (1/2 of your weight in ounces) per day. She said migraine sufferers are very sensitive when their blood levels are not balanced. She told me that if i drank that ever day i should be able to reduce them. Now, i still take topomax so f-it LMAO but since you can't take pain relievers, maybe you can try this. Don't know anything about Java though...i drink green tea. I hope this can help you!! migraines really suck!!!!

Coffee always helps with my headaches and keeps me regular too all things in moderation not that I've been able to achieve that I'm on my 2nd 22 gallon cup now.

caffeine is known in Excedrin...but i say to all that ask..execercise just 20 min walking in place will help the vascular vessels to dilate meaning open..this could be better than anything..

ive always been told that caffeine can give you headaches. so i dont drink it that much anymore.

Caffeine will contribute to headaches so just stick to fresh fruit juice, flavoured water or any other healthy drinks with no caffeine in them.
