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 available at

Oh man, that sucks! I get one once a month, and can hardly handle that. I can't imagine getting one every day! I've found that taking Excedrin Migraine really helps, but if you're having one every day, you should probably see a doctor. Most likely there's no underlying cause and you're just getting migraines, but if anything there are prescription medications you can get that are supposed to help people that get frequent migraines. So go see your doctor ASAP!

Imetrex didn't help me. I take more care to my eyesight, mensus schedule, foods (caffeine) and when I do have a migraine ( i have about 2 a week now) I take excedrin migraine and that seems to be the only thing that works. Aside from sleep, quiet, and darkness! Good Luck!

Excedrin Migraine always works best for me, but if you are getting them that often you should mention it to your doctor. Mine has me on a preventative medication. Since I've started taking it rarely get migraines anymore.

It's not OTC, but Topamax works well.
