What is the best medication for severe All kinds of Headache?
I had a stroke when I was 27, 2 years ago. Since the stroke I have had severe All kinds of Headache. I’ve tried topomax, fioricet, vicodin, and percocet. What is the best pain reliever for headaces post brain trauma? My MD is so busy, I just met with her and it’s difficult to keep her in the room. Looking for good info.

take a long hot bath, drink some hot cocoa, rent a movie… relax
Aromatherapy works well – the following scents work well to relieve headaches:
Peppermint
Sandlewood
Lavender
Eucalyptus
Rosemary
Just rub a little bit on your temples and it should help you relax. Pressing on your temples helps too.
I would try some IB profene…unless you are allergic to it
Excedrin. Works for me. Or aspirin & 2 big ol’ cups of BLACK coffee.I have a history of migraines. I have been on prescription meds. This is the only thing that works for me !
There’s the possibility your headaches are migraines, for which I take Imitrex. It works well, especially in injection form (injection stings like hell though). The unfortunate part is if you’re not insured, Imitrex costs a small fortune (100 mg tabs are around $ 25-30 per pill at the pharmacy, you might be able to fill it online for less). As it is non-narcotic, it doesn’t have the level of sedating effect percocet/vicodin has, but it will make you a bit sleepy. Good luck!
