A member asked:
I take pain killer a lot for my migraine (profeen) so i cant sleep well . can you help please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suggestions: A "pain killer" for migraine, can backfire, and not only cause side effects, but promote additional headaches, a pattern causing chronic daily headaches. Far better, try prevention by using OTC approaches, such as riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew, and Co-Q10.
