It's rare that I get one now, but when I do, they hang on for a long time. The last one was last week. Nasty thing that lasted three days!
I take blood pressure meds because I've let my weight slip up again, and I had taken them as directed, but still got the migraine.
I tried over the counter stuff to no avail. I tried a Lortab, nothing helped.
I rembered that I had asked my mother if she had any pain meds one day 'cause I had left mine at home. She gave me a couple and also gave me a couple others that I dropped in my bottle. I forgot about the little blue ones and left them there a few weeks.
On the third day of this head ache I remembered the tablets that mom had given me and out of desperation decided to take one of the blue ones thinking they were the pain med.
I got really relaxed, a bit loopy maybe, but in a couple hours the headache started to subside, then was gone.
I called her and asked what they were -- I was gonna ask my doc for some!
She reminded me that she had given me a couple of her Valium! It did the trick!
I've taken them before, years ago when I was married :-( but never really remembered them working on a headache.
