Hear hear!! I second the Maxalt!! But, the headache has to be a migraine in order to help. I took one when it was a terrible sinus headache, it didn't help much because it wasn't a migraine. Expensive - YES, but they work. I have chronic migraines - 1 to 3 a week at times, sometimes none for a month!
If you are experiencing daily headaches you should consider being seen by a chronic pain specialist to diagnose why you are getting them. It could be a nerve, muscle, tension issue, or something more serious if they are this frequent. And get a CT or MRI done to confirm their diagnosis.
And watch, yes, rebound headaches because of too much OTC medication are often worse than that initial headache.
Best of luck to you!
