Any good recommendations for prescription headache medicine?
Answer:
Don't take recommendations for prescriptions from anyone other than your doctor. And please don't walk into your doctor requesting something.
They went to med school for 4 years to learn what to give to you. They get really annoyed with that!

It all depends on the type of headache your experiencing. I myself suffer from migraines, as do both my daughters. All of us react so differently from the different medications. I personally take Midrin and Relpax. My youngest takes Imitrex, and my oldest so far has found no relief from any of the prescription headache medication. One thing you need to talk to your doctor about is what are your symptoms with your headaches. Such as: Are they on one side of your head? Are they all over your head? Do they seem to be more in your face? Does it involve the back of the head? Do you have light sensitivity? Do you feel nauseated with the headache? Do they go away after rest? Do you wake up with them? There are many many many questions to ask your doctor to find out what medications would be the best for your type of headache. If your headaches are stress induced, one type of over the counter headache medicine I found worked for me, but I can't take due to other illnesses of mine and that was Bayer Headache. Try the over the counter first, then talk with your doctor, but never, and I repeat NEVER take more than the recommended or prescribed dose as you can end up with more problems than just a headache.
there are alot of over then counter drugs that help, for example Ibprofine works, if you are looking for a prescriptio (from a docter) i would suggest Oxycodone' or darvacet, they work very well, or tylenol 3, that will knock you out. talk to your docter about how strong the pain is ( on a scale from 1-10 ) how offten you have the pain and to help them figure out what to do, where in your head the pain is, that way they can figure out what is causing the pain, and the best way to treat it, my bocter still doesn't know what is causing my pain, but we are getting the. and if you have no insurance i would not suggests imetrex..very costly.about $800-$900.
excedrin is a really good headache pill over the counter
and it is affordable
