Caffeine actually helps the blood flow and will reduce a migraine...also, be careful about taking so many NSAIDs so I just pop 3/4 ibuprofen...

Probly is a true migraine if lasting for more than 12 hours. If so, no amount of Ibuprofen or Tylenol or Goody's will touch it. Opioids don't work great because they don't attack the problem but just dull it while the drug is at maximum potential.
I have about 20 years of experience with them and neurologists and get both the garden variety migraines and cluster headaches.
Imitrex or most triptan drugs will stop them in an hour or so if taken as soon as you feel the signs.
Clusters are different and can go full blown in 5 minutes. Dig a knuckle into both your temples and hold and you will get a taste of what they start out like. They can hit you for days to months on end at the same time daily and can ruin your day for you and those around you.
A shot of the Tordol at the ER will break one up.
A couple of the newer treatments are high flow oxygen inhaled
deeply and for clusters, a 3 day dose of the steroid prednisone breaks the cycle for me.
I have suffered from episodes of cluster headaches since my early twenties. Hi-flow oxygen will work when I get a headache. I have used Topomax as a way to arrest all symptoms and it has usually worked within a week. Cluster headaches are considered to be the most painful medical condition you can have. The are also called suicide headaches. My Neurologist has told me of a couple of stories of people jumping from skyscrapers due to cluster headaches.

Go to your doc and get a RX for this!! I've had them since I was 5. This drug work in usually 15-20 minutes!! They make a regular pill and one that dissolves under your tongue.
