Going to the doctor's AGAIN 4 my head aches, he better give me something 4 it this time! It's not every once in a while I get them, it's EVERY min, I don't get a break EVER, not even an hour :(
My first migraine, lasted for 3 to 4 weeks and i still have some last that long, and i end up in the ACU on ivs and shots. Also have been in the ER for them. Stress is one of the big causes for my long ones, or after stress is over and life gets calm again ill get a horrible migraine that just hangs on and on. Other times food can trigger them such as chocalte, giving up caffeine, cheese, tomatoes, etc its different for everyone. I just went off one med that caused them as well, thats when its time to change meds.
amerge helps sometimes, other times excedrin works, or alka seltzer night time, other times lorcet plus. It depends on how fast i catch the headache, I always start with the amerge if it has just started, other wise it wont work, excedrin can help anytime, i usally try that next, sometimes takes a couple doses and i usually drink a pepsi with it the caffeine can help as well, and make sure you eat with excedrin. Alka seltzer night time i take if the first two dont work and lorcet plus is my last bet, If none of them help over the course of a couple days i call my dr and go to the acu or i go to the ER for demmarol shots.
I tried alka seltzer, and alot of Aleve, I hope he helps me, it\'s head to come to work and do my job. Thank u for your help, as long as I know someone that has this too helps, I am not crazy!
nope your not crazy! I have tried aleve as well and it is like taking nothing, excedrin works different than that. I know its stressful having migraines but you adjust after a bit.

I dont remember if i have asked you this before, but how long have you had headaches for?
4-5 weeks, every day! first I thought it was because I had a tooth pulled, and then stress and then side effects from bp med, now I don\'t know :(
