Interestingly enough, Excedrin has caffeine in it, which I always thought made headaches worse, but sometimes that helps when nothing else does. Of course I don't have any here though. But maybe some caffeinated soda might help?

Caffeine does not cause headaches, although caffeine withdrawal can cause them. It has the effect of opening up the capillaries in the brain, reducing headaches. It is the only real med for migraines in children before the age of 12 or so because ibuprofen and the prescription migraine meds are contra-indicated at that age.

Tiki, do you have migraine? Look it up on HealthCentral.net or webmd.com. For most migraine sufferers, Imitrex is a Godsend.

Goodys... two Goodys, a Coke, plus a McGriddle if its a hangover headache.

Thanks rwm! I'll check it out...

But, since I've been home, I've had oh, (not that o) a handful of Killians, and the headache is gone, or I just don't notice it!

Thanks all for the suggestions... will keep them handy for next time.

In that case, you may need my suggestion tomorrow.

Tiki-I had a bear of a headache today as well-triggered by the icky weather, which is a major trigger for me.

Largely depends on what type of headache it is-migraine, tension, cluster, etc. I get lots of tension headaches-i take lots of Advil (prescription strength-800mg) and that often helps. Other things-cold packs/ice and massage at various trigger points (for me usually side or back of the neck).

I've tried 3 different migraine medicines (can't remember the name now) and none of them worked for me

I have had similar problems--tried Imitrex, the migraine wonder drug and it did nothing. Fiorinal sometimes works though it takes a double dose. Fortunately the migraines are infrequent, but they are not fun!

Certainly not. When I have severe migraines, they almost completely blind me and diabilitate me. They were happening several times a week, caused by my job (staring at computers). Now that I'm manager, I don't do the tedious work anymore and the severe migraines are much less frequent
