otc

2

I notice that whenever I get migraines it usually is in the late morning like 3-4 am and throbbing pain. After I take some otc pain meds and I get up I usually start to feel better after an hour or so. I usually notice signs of new migraines appearing late in the evening, too, like before I go to bed. But could laying down make the migraines worse because of the circulation or blood flow?

I have migraines usually about once every couple of months. I usually use prescription Imitrex, but does anyone use anything over the counter that works? I tried one once, but it didn’t help too much. I get SERIOUS migraines – numbness in my fingers, vision problems, trouble talking and then the headache starts. I also get really, really sick to my stomach. The prescriptions are starting to get expensive so I would like to know if over the counter has worked for anyone?
I don’t get sick because of the medicine I take. Its from the migraine itself. I can handle the headache – but being sick to my stomach for three hours! Its horrible. Do any of the OTC work for nausea?
Another thing – I don’t know what causes my headaches. It used to be that I would get them after swimming (I was on the swimteam and a lifeguard) but ever since I had surgery they have been more frequent.
