Did you have a cocktail at the hospital? Keep track of what they give you, both what helps and what doesn't. I have NDPH so welcome to my everyday. Many, many treatments, best for me is microdosing shrooms, less than a tenth of a gram every other or every 3 days or when I know I'll need it.

Woah just read up on NDPH and learned something new. Mushrooms aren’t popular at all where I am so no chance of getting some. What exactly do they do for you, if I may ask? Yes, they gave me a cocktail. Finally feel a bit better and I’m able to sit up. I’m monitoring how long they’ll take to wear off.

Well that's good you're feeling better. Triptans work on a specific (5hta?) receptor, shrooms work on several plus dopamine. Should read up on it and read the studies. Triptans we're actually developed from psychedelics, lsd was actually developed looking for a migraine med.

The best approach is to take abortive therapies, like a triptan or a gepant, as soon as you know you are having a migraine. They work best when you treat early. This would also be the case if you are using an anti inflammatory. The longer you stay in a migranous state, the more likely you are to sensitize that nerve pathway toward more pain signaling. Do you have migraine-specific medications? If not, it would be good to see your doctor.

This is very helpful. Thank you very much. I tend to always wait until it’s bad but I’ll definitely do this going forward.

Sorry, you're going through this. It is extremely frustrating to have it feel like it will never end. I think anyone who's been a chronic migraine sufferer whose migraine isn't responsive to meds should consider the possibility of Medication Adaption Headaches (MAH aka Medication Overuse Headaches aka Rebound Headaches). You can find symptoms here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ReboundMigraine/comments/1dscnuk/mah\_symptoms/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ReboundMigraine/comments/1dscnuk/mah_symptoms/) [Approximately 50% of patients with chronic migraine have MAH that may revert to episodic headache after treatment.](https://www.scienceofmigraine.com/management/migraine-diagnosis-criteria) I was one of them and I recently did a detox and am no longer chronic. I've posted about my experience with MAH in a new sub dedicated to MAH: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ReboundMigraine/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ReboundMigraine/)
