My doctor always recommends Alleve. She gave me a prescription for migraine medicine but she said when I get a migraine I should take Alleve. If the Alleve doesn't work in 30 minutes, then I need to take the prescription.
Anything containing caffiene will help (coffee, cola) if your stomach can handle it. You have my sympathy. Migraines are miserable.

Take two aleves, also called naproxin sodium. the bottle says 1 every 12 hours but its ok to take 2 and that should at least dull it down.
