That lime for headaches thing is utter shit. As a long term sufferer of headaches / migraines, I've tried all homeopathic remedies.

Plus if you are exposed to the sun after applying the lime, expect phytophotodermatitus... Which would be much worse than the headache.

it depends I guess. Lime and campher work for me. (not everytime though) Also coffee works.
TotallyRealDoctor
I thought coffee would be the worst thing due to dehydrating the body
Janedoe783
In France we say that caffeine narrows the blood vessels and so it helps fighting the headache. (also paracetamol works better with coffee)
TotallyRealDoctor
That doesn't make it true though and if you have a bad headache already, you won't digest any orally administered drugs, only liquids.

I can't eat grapefruit anyway as I'm on antidepressants which are an SSRI medication and grapefruit works as a catalyst 1/2

which breaks down medication faster and can be less effective.

okay so I've had migraines since I was literally 9 years old. I have tried most medications for them and they usually make me feel(1/?)
tigerrawr415
worse than the migraine does. half a cup of iced coffee usually improves it. Avoid any potential allergens (pine trees for me). (2/?)
tigerrawr415
Clenching and unclenching my hands in ice water works sometimes, doesn't other times. Avoiding getting overly warm almost always helps (3/?)

and exercise sometimes helps as well so if I'm at work or something I go for a walk without a jacket and get some coffee. At home? (4/?)

Don't be reluctant to take prescribed medicine because of side-effects. Your doctor obviously thinks the benefits outweigh the risks. 1/2
theycallmetherattlesnake
rather, become knowledgeable about the medicines that you are taking and learn their side effects so you will be aware of them and 2/3
theycallmetherattlesnake
can bring them to your dr's attention. Folks that don't take meds that may improve their health because they worry about side effects irk me

It's not so much that I worry about potential side-effects, it's that I know what they do to me and I don't like doing that every day. 1/2

by all accounts from people i know who suffer from migraines smoking weed helps a lot
thegreenkacheek
I find it helps for a while but then comes back worse rebound when coming down.
frjackhackett

thegreenkacheek
Haha, would if I could but it gets expensive fast
FriendlyNeighbour
study have shown that for med marijuanna that thats not the case. It decreases severity of migraines and frequency.

Thanks for pointing me that way. Read about the article from the Journal of Neuroscience. Glad it works for others.

Actually there has been a lot of promise shown in taking very small doses of Psilocybin mushrooms, as well as LSD.
