I have been in a migraine episode for 8 days, a rebound migraine wakes me up every night at 4:00 am. How can I stop it?

I take zomitriptan, advil and tylenol, it gives me relief but it starts again every night. Thank you for your advice.

Hello Ma'am,

Unfortunately, the situation you describe needs to be seen by a doctor. Indeed, such a long migraine episode that wakes up at night is a clear sign that a medical consultation is needed.

Sorry I can't be more helpful to you at this time.

Tell me,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
