So sorry. I have had these for the last 5-6 days. Today is the first day I feel alive. I think a new preventative I am starting is working. Was on Topomax and it worked great, but it may have caused a kidney stone, so I dropped it at my urologist and neuro's recommendation.

I taken either Darvocet (if I want to be somewhat cognizant and awake) and Vicodin for my pain if both my preventative and quick acting drug (Maxalt) fail. So ridiculous, but sometimes the best you can do is sleep it off.

The ER is usually completely useless, so I wouldn't go unless you cannot see or get some other sort of strange symptom. I often cannot see properly when having a migraine and sometimes I lose the ability to figure out words I want to say. It's scary to some because this is unusual. If it is, go to the ER. For me, it is old hat and part of auras, which I have all the time with migraines.
