Pills don't work for me, and right now I have a bad headache. How do you get rid of your headaches?

Turns out it was dehydration :-/

Stress headaches: eccederin. Now that it's gone, I use the off brand of it. Have a strong cup of coffee or tea with it.

Sinus headaches: Advil cold & sinus.

Migraine: I start with eccederin stress, then imitrex. I also put a heat wrap on the back of my neck & on my eyes. I drink a strong, hot cup of coffee too. This will usually take care of it.

I've had severe migraines & headaches for 34 years, so I've got it down pretty good.

Play around with it until you find out what works best for you. Cold, dark rooms, quiet. Watch out for smells they can hit you pretty bad & make things worse. Sip on sprite or 7UP. A cold wash cloth on your forehead can help too.

Good luck, I hope you feel better.

Depends on what is causing them.. Water if I'm dehydrated, caffeine (e.g. coffee) if it's mild, pills if it's worse, and if I have a reason to believe there is a cause behind it that needs to be corrected then he doctor and the dentist. The only time I've had really bad headaches was when I still had my wisdom teeth. I waited too long to get them out and they gave me migraines at one point. At that time I would take Acetaminophen + Ibuprofen + Caffeine to numb the pain. Eventually I got them removed and then the headaches went away.

Try a little brandy, alcohol tends to enlarge blood vessels and MIGHT help. But just a little! Good old aspirin usually works too, but I always try a shot of brandy first.

I don't have Brandy :( And too lazy to go buy some right now.

[martyfellow]

Any kind of hard liquor will do. Not wine, though, the tannins tend to aggravate headaches. Beer would be OK to try, but drink a little more since the alcohol content is much less.

[Asker]

Thanx. If it works, I'll give you BA.

[martyfellow]

So simple!

headaches are caused by swollen blood vessels. enlarging them would most likely make it way worse. try some herbal medication. one hit of some good stuff ;) and you could go lay down and it would be all better

A blunt? I don't have any :/

could be dehydrated and have sodium imbalance. so drink some water, and eat something salty. just a bit though not too much. body needs a certain amount of salt to absorb water properly.

Drink water, get some sodium, caffeine, and masturbate.

Last one sounds a bit weird,but it's actually been proven in studies that orgasm helps with headaches.

Wanna give me a hand o no?
