I put on my sunglasses, put an ice pack on my head and lay in a dark room.

I take Zonisamide daily as a preventative - I was on Topamax but it quit being effective. When I get a migraine, I take Maxalt and that helps. Sometimes I take Vicodin but I try not to, because that can cause a rebound migraine. My neurologist gave it to me for emergencies only, when nothing else is working.

I'm one of the "lucky" ones who has chronic migraines - 15+ days a month of migraines. They suck! I applied for disability but was told I didn't meet the criteria.

Good luck!
