How to heal migran?!
Question: Is that "migraine?" I get migraine headaches and take a prescription medication. It is a vascular constrictor (shrinks blood vessels) called Relpax (Eletriptan Hydrobromide). Nothing else works for me -- not Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, NOTHING. All those medications do is relieve general pain. Eletriptan and the other "triptan" medications relieve migraine pain by binding to serotonin receptors in cranial blood vessels (causing their constriction) and subsequent inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release. Evidence is accumulating that these drugs are effective because they act on serotonin receptors in nerve endings as well as the blood vessels. This leads to a decrease in the release of several peptides.
Other Triptan medications:
Triptans include sumatriptan (Imitrex, Imigran), rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge, Naramig), zolmitriptan (Zomig), eletriptan (Relpax), almotriptan (Axert, Almogran), and frovatriptan (Frova, Migard).
Ask your doctor to send you to a neurologist for the treatment of migraines.

If you suffer from migraine headaches, I'm so sorry. I know how miserable they are!

Magnesium helps in some cases and a web search for migraines + magnesium will tell you more.
