    I have suffered with migraines since I was around 5. They're horrible and that sucks you have to deal with them to.
    Smoking has never helped.. if anything it makes mine worse.

    Since you don't like to take pills maybe this advise will work. I didn't have health insurance for a long time, so I didn't have the option to take something prescription. I take a hot hot shower, the hottest you can stand. [headaches are cause by constricting blood vessels, heat opens them allowing the blood to flow freely] When you get out, wrap you head in a towel, and don't take it off.
    I usually take Excedrin migraine. Then lay down in a very dark & quite room and just.. try not to move.
    I also have read up on pressure points in your hands, look it up. Theres spots on your hands & feet that if rubbed will help relieve headaches.

    Its sounds like you need a new doctor. Have you seen a neurologist? Migraines can be awful, and Tylenol can be awful as well (goodby liver).

    OnlyDirty, have you tried ginger? That is a safe natural remedy. Valerian?

    A heating pad works to & its not an instant fix. You just need to try to sleep it off, honestly. And take some Tylenol as soon as you get up.

    Weed will help you for sure. Just make sure you drink a few glasses of water, so you don't get dehydrated which will make things worse.


    However, sounds like your doctor dosent know how severe your migranes truly are. I would go in and tell him that you need something more powerful, or you will be forced to get a second opinion b

    yea shwag and mids dont help me, but dank does wonders. i get headaches and migranes a lot when i havent been toking, there extremely rare when i have been. anytime id get one id just toke a couple bowls or a joint and chill out. get some fluids in me and itd go away really quick.

    a warm/damp cloth or towel over the head helps me a lot when i cant.

    Sorry to hear about the migranes man. I know they are hell to go through. I used to get them up to 2-3 times a week for a year or two. Some got so bad I would throw up. I was scared to smoke if I got one, I was afraid of any negative effects that would make them worse.

    I don't have much advice, but hang in there. All of a sudden mine virtually stopped, I haven't had one in I don't know how long.

    dank stuff helps me but i don't actually have a migrain. i have regular headaches.

    but mids of any kind help temporarily then as im "sobering up" it comes back worse, or even if i didn't have one before i do then.

    I thank weed for actually getting rid of my migraines.

    I used to stay up all night in severe pain from TERRIBLE migraines and when i was younger, i'd basically cry myself to sleep... really sucked.

    Haven't experienced that for about a year and a half, ever since i started smoking.

    I would get frequent migraines also, not just headaches but migraines and now that's pretty much a rarity unless i'm hungover or under-nourished...

    yay weed! :hello::smoking:

    I get migraine headaches, and have a MMJ recommendation for it here in CA. I have taken Midrin and Imitrex in the past. I'll try to explain this the best I can: When I get migraines, I feel an intense stabbing pain in my right temple in addition to overall tenderness. It feels as though jabbing the side of my head with a knife to relieve the pressure would help. Most sativa strains will give me a rushing feeling in my head, like blood/energy are rushing to my head (hard to explain). It completely takes away my head pain and nausea. I was pretty emotional the first time I tried MMJ for headaches because there I was suffering from migraines since the age of 8 (I'm 24 now) with none of the prescription/OTC stuff working, dealing with intense pain my whole life... and yet I can smoke an illegal plant and it all goes away. At least I have a solution now I suppose.

    I've been suffering from TERRIBLE migraines pretty much all my life. Before I started smoking I usually got migraines about 3 times a week on average and smoking helped ALOT. I rarely ever get migraines anymore even when im not high.

    Actually weed DOES help with migraines. It just depends onthe type of weed. I strongly reccomend a relaxing dank indica. One bowl should be good along with a small amount of advil. Works all the time for me. I've had chronic migraines (which cause me to vomit almost always) since i was very young so i feel you. Hope this helps. Feel better man
