I have had migraines for a long time. REALLY bad ones!!! I have been on every pain killer there is, and I hate them all. They add to the nausea already there from the migraine. Years ago, a doctor gave me Anaprox, which was prescription strength Aleve, before Aleve came out OTC. I have never used anything else since then. When a major migraine hits, I pop 3 Aleve, and I can LITERALLY feel the migraine leaving...usually with 20 mins. or so. BTW, 2 and a half Aleve is equal to the same dosage as the Anaprox the doc used to give me.

Thanks Jenny! Yep, I did the Anaprox way back when and still use the Aleve when I have a small headache (which I don't even consider migraines, lol). Tylenol Sinus can also help for the small ones. But they have NO effect on the biggies
The Imitrex is really the only thing that has ever completely helped and since it's NOT a pain killer, it doesn't make me loopy - well, MORE loopy than normal ;)
