What can I take for a bad headache? (Please help)?

Question

I have been taking 800 motrin and bc nothing seems to help.
My head feels like someone is hitting me in it.
I am dizzy also.

Answer 1

I get migraines and find Imitrex to be extraordinary, but you'll need a prescription, and they're not cheap (more than $3.00 per dose).

Tylenol extra-strength works on less severe headquakes.

I'm sorry for you. Please ask your doctor for Imitrex.

Answer 2

I found that generic Aleve works very well for a bad headache for me. I can't take Motrin at all (stomach upsets) and BC doesn't do anything for me, either, but if I combine the generic Aleve with generic Tylenol (you can take both at the same time: the Aleve product attacks the inflammation and the Tylenol the pain). You need to relax with some soothing, warm tea, too - and be sure you stay hydrated. If your headache continues past what you feel is a considerable amount of time, then you need to get in touch with your doctor.

Answer 3

Hey, well....I'm not sure what you can take to help the headache(maybe Advil?), but I know that some common triggers of migraines are: sweets, dairy, cheese, chocolate, salted or pickled foods, and smoke meats. So, maybe trying to limit your intake of them would help....Just a thought....Hope your headache goes away soon....
