Migraine headaches usually last 4 to 72 hours. When a migraine ends, some people feel tired and “hungover” for another day or two.
There are a number of medications you can take that may shorten the duration of a migraine or stop it entirely. Some medications work better for certain people than others. These medications include:
Over-the-counter painkillers
Prescription anti-inflammatory medication
Prescription triptans: These work by stimulating serotonin (a chemical in the brain), reducing inflammation and narrowing the blood vessels, ultimately stopping the migraine.
Ditans: These newer medications also work by increasing the effects of serotonin.
CGRP blockers: These medications block the chemical CGRP. When released, CGRP causes the release of pain chemicals in the brain, so blocking CGRP causes the migraine to end quickly in most patients.
