I took Imitrex injection. No help. Demerol 200mg, also no help. I called my neurologist and he suggested I go to the ER. I went and they gave me a shot of Dilaudid 3mg. I feel asleep soon after it kicked in since I was so tired from no sleep all night, so they sent me home. I just woke up and it’s even worse then before. I just got sick. I don’t know what to do now

The ER discharge papers they gave me say to come back if symptoms worsen, but I weird going to the ER twice in one day like that for a migraine.

Definitely go back to the ER, I am a nurse and there may be more going on with you, especially if you already see a neurologist.

Go to the store and get a bottle of "Excedrin Migraine" when you feel a Migraine coming on, or even if you have a bad one. Take 2 tablets and put a hot rag on your head and lay down and try to fall asleep. When you wake up you will feel GREAT! If you take it before the migraine gets bad it will go away before it gets bad and you don't need to sleep, just relax for a few minutes. I've had Migraines since I was 10 years old and nothing ever worked for me. I gave up on everything, until one day I had one for hours on end and I could not take it anymore. So I went to CVS and got some excedrin migraine and I took them and feel asleep for 20 minutes and when I woke up it was TOTALY gone! Since that day I've been taking them for migraines and they work every time. PLEASE GO BUY SOME, and always have them on you just in case. I don't leave home without them.

You have to go to the doc or ER and get special meds for migraines. Get off the computer and go get it taken care of. Next time don't wait so long. Also make a doc appointment to get a prescription for migraine meds you can keep with you at all times.

I used to get migraines. Mine would get bad enough to make me throw up but afterwords my headache would go away. A head ache is the worst thing- I would rather be beaten. I haven't had migraines in a long time but now when I get a headache I always take BC powders and they work so fast I forget I even had one.

Do you drink a lot of sodas or caffine? If you don't, try a soda, nothing that has a lot of caffine, but I heard that sometimes it will help, try a cold cloth over your eyes or on your neck. When I get migraines I just go to sleep, it takes a while for me to fall asleep, but being in a dark room with no sound sometimes help me.
Good luck

Man, I feel for you. I would go back to the ER and make them give you something to knock you out for a few hours. I thought mine were bad, but they usually go away after taking an Advil Migraine and lying down. Good luck.

it's probably the no sleep all night that hurt the migraine more. Lie down with a wet washcloth over your eyes and sleep.
