Can muscle relaxers help migraines and if so how. many thanx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they can: I often use muscle relaxers to treat migraine in the emergency room. They do work well. I am not sure however what the mechanism would be but anything that encourages relaxation will be beneficial.

I take aspirin every day (via Excedrin) for headaches. Is there anything else I can take that works as good as asprin but without the side effects? Nothing over the counter works. Even with migraine scrip I still need Excedrin, mostly bc of muscles?
