I'm only telling you MY experience--see your doc for guidelines because each person's migrane patterns (cluster, throbbing at the temples, sudden on-set, etc.) are different. Most people need a beta blocker ALONG with other medication, as determined by your doc. Beta blockers block the pain signals that your brain is getting when the headaches arrive. If you have one that hits, you have something else to take. I've tried many things over the years. The two things, by prescription, that have worked best for me are Atenolol 100 mg.--although many people use this for high blood pressure, it can be used as a beta blocker. I take 10 mg. of Reglan, up to 3, spaced out, for migraine relief. FYI: Some of the things that MAY help you, depending on how your migraines are: no light until the "episode" is over. If you become sick to your stomach, let yourself "barf"--it will make you feel better. It doesn't matter if it's only clear. I use black tea with no sugar and saltine crackers to calm my stomach. It helps--believe me, you can't handle sugar in tea when you have the kind I get (sudden onset at both temples). If you have severe pain that meds won't kill, you've tried heating pads on high, and ice packs, and your pain has lasted 15 hrs. plus, go to the emergency room of the hospital that you use in your area. They will use what is appropriate for your situation at the moment. What really worked for me--you can tell them, but remember what I just said to you--is a shot called a "migraine cocktail". It's a mixture (I don't know the strengths) of Reglan, Composene, and Toradol. It knocked one of the worst I ever had out in about 15 minutes.
