Help docs, is having a migraine for 6 days normal? i've taken meds and it only helps a little.

6 days not usual: Migraines typically last hours or days, but six days is longer than is common. You may need to try different meds if the ones you are taking are not helpful. Triptans are medications specific for migraines that will usually very effective. Sometimes it requires stronger medications such as narcotics to abort the migraine.
