I get severe tension headaches that sometimes lead to migraine. On a typical day I would take about 5 advil, but i'm trying to only take 2 now.
I have gotten an MRI, so there is no serious health cause but my headaches cause a rotten mood.
Any tips on relieving tension?

I'm a nurse. Try some relaxation techniques along with the medication. There are so many OTC medicine (generic will work just as good) for migraines. The key is to get rest with the medication in order to rid yourself of the headache. Try hard not to worry, they are usually brought on by stress and food allergies and even skipping meals. I hope this information is useful to you. Take care and all the best.

I use the gel Advil designed for migraines. I am a pharmacy technician and all the pharmacists that I connected with says this is the best med and least damaging to the liver. Just remember to take it right at first hint of an oncoming headache or migraine.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
