Have you tried an ice pack?
I know it's stupid, but when I get headaches even Excedrin won't kill, I've found that laying down in a non-bright, quiet, room with an ice pack helps.

i was hospitalized most of 2004 for migraines so bad it permanently damaged my vision and had me throwing up literally 13 times a day
i spent weeks on the floor screaming and hallucinating and lost 30 pounds
tried every drug including the maxalt mentioned above
got into $60,000 worth of debt over it all because i couldn't even move or sleep, let alone work
sometimes it would stop for a few glorious hours, but other than that it was a constant thing.
then one day it just went away
the single most traumatic and transformative experience in my life
i used to slam my head against the toilet trying to kill myself

i agree with the ice pack thing, cold helps a little
sit in a room with as little sensory input as possible, and stay perfectly still. ALWAYS stay hydrated if you can, don't eat much, as a full stomach will increase blood pressure in your body and make it worse
acetominophen helps a little, vicodin will help you care about it less
intense meditation is what got me through it

I used to have those every Saturday and Sunday (enhanced by drinking+smoke abuse every Friday). Then I realised I was hooked on coffee, and slowly dropped out of several coffees per day. Never had a migraine since I stop drinking coffee regularly. Presently I just take 1 (or maybe 2) espresso per day - but sometimes I even forget about it. Never had another headache since I've change my coffee regime.

Nasal Spray ... Decongestant.
I heard this works from migraine sufferers.

my gf gets them bad, maybe 3 a week. Her doctor suggested pedatolex butterbur, a natural herb that comes in pill form. It's supposed to help regulate blood vessel size. You have to take slow-release magnesium with it for it to absorb though.

My dad gets these sporadic spurts of extreme migranes. They are known as clusters because they come in bunches. Every few years it flares up for a few weeks or months.
He has tried plenty of medicine, but now injects himself with a shot of something (don't know what) and he says his headache is gone within 2 min.

Ugh. I get cluster headaches.
They are so bad I ranked a burst appendix a 6 on the 1-10 scale of pain, which doctors and nurses say is about a 14 on anyone else's.
And by 14 they say people with burst appendixes are yelling/crying/can't move and are not laughing/joking with everyone/and smiling while still walking upright because he doesn't want to a burden.
What? haha.
Migraines suck. My cousin gets them and I hate seeing him go through them.
- i had a burst appendix and called it an 8 (9-10 is kidney pain or labour). but what on earth are "cluster headaches"?Corvo

soda works because of the caffiene content
excedrine is best for migraines because of this reason. it pairs caffiene with acetominophen, a synergistic pair which will alleviate mild migraines

I've heard that relying on caffeine too much to cure migranes can mean withdrawl headaches that become migranes.
