Rebounding Migraines

Posted by bobbi2 @bobbi2, Aug 26 7:21am

What do you take or do to break the cycle of OTC rebounding migraine? I try to toughen it out but eventually have to give in and take some OTC pills plus a sumatriptan to get rid of it. I'm not on any preventive meds at the moment, nothing works, I've had migraines for 60 years.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Headache & Migraine Support Group.

bobbi2, God Bless You. I have had migaines for years. If I get into days of migraines, my doctor has prescribes
a prednisone taper which breaks the migraine cycle. It works wonderfully for me.

Ask your primary or your Neurologist what they think about this?

Blessings & Prayers....

Try wearing Migraine Cool patches on your head to numb the pain (you can buy them on Amazon), or go get a shot of lidocaine (or some other painkiller) in your forehead. That will knock it out for a while. Jim
