I've tried all of the main OTC medications as well as the most popular presciptions (Imitrex, Indep, etc.) Are there any new medications out there, or is there some kind of home remedy that has worked for you in the past?

I had them severely for years, and after several sessions with a therapist, I learned self hypnosis techniques that helped me greatly. When I felt a migraine coming on, I did all the usual things~dark room, ice packs, etc. Then I did the self-hypnosis and it eased symptoms unbelieveably for me. The stress relief also helped lighten the migraine pain and I got through them without a trip to the ER.

Get everyone out of the house
Take a good pain reliever
Make the house as dark as you can
Take a long, hot bath without lights on
Go lay down some where comfortable
Turn on a fan or some other type of white noise
Try to take a nap or relax
Whatever you do, just make the space quiet and dark!
Hope you feel better!

there are several new meds for migraines you may need to consult a neurologist if you have not done so already. Imitrex is really good you may not be getting enough in your system to be effective. I take 200mg on on set of a migraine if it doesn't work i take another 100mg after 30 mins if that doesn't work i have imitrex injecters that i can use and those work really well then i lay in a dark quiet room

Take a hot bath in a dark bathroom, no sound, no anything, it will be kind of like a sensory depervation, which your body can focus and help get rid of your migrane. You might also want to ask your doctor for a perscritption if they are getting that bad.

Excedrin Migraine works for me. Before Excedrin Migraine... I slept in the dark until it was gone... usually until evening.

i usually take a BC Powder or Goody PM and take a nap in a quiet room. that helps me. if your migraine gets really bad you should go to the ER and get the shot.
