Migraine Medications Are Not The Safest Option

pillsOver-the-counter medicine has its place and works wonderfully at treating some common ailments, but when it comes to severe intense migraine headaches, let’s face it there are times when over the counter medicine does not even come close to scratching the surface. When medicines such as: Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, Aleve and Ibuprofen no longer has any positive effect on the intense migraine pain being felt the need for prescription medication might be.

 

 

It is important that migraines sufferers realize that medication prescribed for migraine relief is not a cure for migraine headaches themselves but are used for one of two purposes:

  1. Relieve  Symptoms
  2. Prevent  Attacks

A relief of migraine symptoms can be found by the use of one of the over the counter medicines we have already mentioned earlier in this book and was briefly touched on in the paragraph above. Keep in mind that no prescription medication can prevent a migraine 100% but there are those prescription medications available that can help reduce the number of migraine attacks experienced as well as lessen the level of pain felt by the migraine sufferer. A few of the medication that a doctor might prescribe to assist with lessening the occurrence of migraines would be:

  • Anti-depressants
  • Anti-Seizure  Medication
  • Blood  Pressure Medication

 

Prophylactic Medication

The use of prophylactic medication can be somewhat helpful as well in reducing the reoccurrences of migraine headaches. Prophylactic medicine is taken daily as a preventative medication. Prophylactic medication is not effective when taken once a migraine has developed its job if to help reduce migraine frequency not the pain associated with migraines. A few examples of Prophylactic Medication are:

 

Migraine Surgery

Migraine surgery has been a treatment option for those individuals who simply do not respond well to medication and feel that their quality of life is habitually hindered as a result of their migraine headaches. Deciding to undergo migraine surgery implies that a surgical cauterization of the superficial blood vessels in your scalp will need to be had in order to limit and possibly remove all signs of migraine pain forever. However, before the surgery could happen, a doctor must first determine with absolute certainty that it is indeed the superficial blood vessels causing the intense migraine pain before operating.

Ergots

Ergots are  similar to triptans in that they too constrict blood vessels, the difference is that triptans tend to constrict blood vessels in the brain whereas ergots are known to restrict blood vessels more in the heart and other parts of the body making them not nearly as safe of a treatment as triptans. Ergots have been known to induce nausea, vomiting and contractions in the uterus that makes them very unsafe for pregnant women.

Trigger Sites

There is reason to believe that by the removing of muscles or nerves in certain areas that are considered trigger sites could be helpful in relieving migraines. Trigger sites are said to exist where sensory nerves are stimulated by a certain muscle, due to the stimulation caused by the muscle a series of painful symptoms begin to develop thus creating a migraine. Migraine surgery such as this one is not often considered as a migraine headache treatment plan unless no other form of migraine treatment is providing the needed relief to improve quality of life.

 

Don’t Want To Take The Risk?

If you are worried about the effects that medications could have on your body, mind and emotions that you should consider a natural approach to migraine treatment such as the use of supplements. Supplements are an excellent treatment approach and one that requires little effort other than swallowing. A few of the most commonly used supplements for migraine relief would include:

Riboflavin

Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B2 and is helpful in relieving migraine pain because B2 is as crucial component in helping tissue respiration and the generation of energy metabolism from proteins, carbs and fats. The Migraine Support Formula contains 400 mg of riboflavin.  No toxic or adverse effects of high riboflavin intake are known in humans.

Magnesium citrate

Research has shown that those who suffer from frequent migraine attacks typically have lower Magnesium levels. One can increase their intracellular magnesium level by taking an oral magnesium supplement. Tests have shown that added magnesium citrate used effectively in combination with riboflavin can have a positive effect on migraine pain.

Feverfew

Feverfew is commonly associated with migraine relief due to its natural ability to obstructing the release of blood vessel dilating substances from the platelets that create migraine pain. Feverfew also prevents inflammatory substances from developing and increasing migraine pain levels. When researched, information revealed that feverfew can help reduce vomiting when undergoing a migraine as well as decrease the severity of the migraine attack.
