How do i get rid of migranes?

See a specialist: Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management, and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. See an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and professional management.

Depends: Most commonly: Find your triggers and remove them. They are usually foods, stress, certain smells, bright lights or fluorescent lights. To prevent them: propranolol, lopressor, depakote, botox. If you know you are going to get one the use of abortive like the triptans: Maxalt, Imitrex, Zomig (zolmitriptan). If you already have one: Midrin, fioricet, stadol.

Prevention: Several successful ways, such as prescription items (Topamax, Depakote, Beta and calcium channel blockers) but OTC remedies such as feverfew, butterbur, riboflavin, CoQ-10, magnesium. Also Botox. See headache specialist and get this started.

Try riboflavin: First, be sure that you have a correct diagnosis of migraine. Migraines are pulsatile, usually one-sided, last hours, and cause disability including nausea and vomiting. They often run in families. Next, avoid using advil (ibuprofen) or other otc's more than twice weekly (they cause rebound headache). Try riboflavin 400mg daily to prevent them.
