I Get Migraine Headaches

Does anyone else find that crying a lot is a migraine trigger? I've got a killer one now that my rizatriptan isn't touching 馃

Yep. Also, too much sleep occasionally does it, perfume, or stress.

I get headaches all the time but luckily not many migraines. I stopped drinking colas and eating chocolate when I was a kid and it helped. Hate the taste of cola now but I started having some chocolate after a 15 year break and I seem OK with it now.

Most of the time, I take Tylenol with codeine (and with Advil often) but for bad ones I have some Tramadol (technically Tramacet because it has tylenol too).

@zork0000 I don't think I've tried tramadol. I use codeine but there are many times when I hit the safe limit and it's not enough. I don't think people realize just how painful it really is.

You can do Advil or another aspirin-based product at the same time as Tylenol since they are not in the same family.

@SW-User Oh, and the other big trigger for me is alcohol. I never know if I'll feel good or get a headache half an hour after having a drink. All too often I just pass all-together rather than risk it.

@zork0000 I barely drink anymore, usually only when I'm very anxious, because alcohol is one of the big triggers for me too.
