take 4 advil migraine gelcaps 800 mg at once that sometimes wud help as well, however its very important not to take painrelievers often because the possibilty of rebound headaches r huge. any food bought in a drive thru is a huge NO NO to people with ne headaches!
I have a friend that suffers from really bad cluster headaches, so if this was prescribed to u for treatment of the cluster and not a migraine, I'll let him know. I get migraines probably once a week, but taking one advil works for me luckily.

good luck
yeah when I get migraines I take about 8mg of hydromorphone up the nose. The scary thing is that doesn't even take away the headache, just makes it more managable while I wait for the imitrex to kick in

One advil does not/will not cure migraines. That would be called a regular headache.
I was in the hospital this week with a migraine, and they had to hook me up to an IV for 8 hours with a shit tonne of painkillers. Even after all that, I came home and still felt like shit.

sorry, I get migraines, and one advil does work for me, as long as I take it early on. Everyone is different when it comes to treatments, and Advil works wonders for me where Aspirin and Tylenol usually does nothing, but is useful to others. I used to get them bad where I would throw get nautious and vomit all over someone who was within range but luckily I have grown out of that.

I find it incredibly difficult to believe that one advil could do anything for a real migraine.
However, if it's true... you are one lucky bastard.

I don't. Even something as simple as laying down can help a migraine.

Really? One advil?!?! That blows me away. One advil doesn't do shit all for my migraines, and anyone I know who has had a migraine has agreed that advil/tylenol does jack.

Many years ago I used to have frequent and powerful migraines. They'd usually disable me for the rest of the day and I had to take some pretty hardcore drugs. Then it went away after a year or so.
