A member asked:

I have a terrible migraine for 2 days now. nothing is helping it. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Migraine Treatment: Treatment should take place at the very start and then routinely if not improving the problem immediately. The meds you've listed are opiates and not the best for headaches. Talk with your doc about medications in the triptan-class. Non medication approaches such as adequate not excessive sleep can help.
