    I get migraines about once a month, sometimes less if i'm lucky. At 11 i was prescribed with imitrex but it just made me feel worse than when i had the migraine so i gave that up. I heard marijuana does wonders for it but i can't get a prescription for that because my state hasn't legalized it for medicinal use yet. Does anyone have any suggestions for beating them?

    it depends on what kind of migraine you get, ask your doctor about maxalt, its what finally worked for me, it made it so i got them less often, and when i did it was less severe, and that's a long term side effect, I haven't taken it in 5 or 6 years, but I just don't get bad migraines like i used to, but I've also learned to be very aware of warning signs, I don't take a slight headache lightly and do my very best to deal with it at the first sign.

    I get migraines all of the time. The best thing I've found is taking three advil liquid gels and a big blue gatorade. As soon as you get those down take a nap.
