A double-dose of advil, taken with a strong cup of coffee, followed by a nap, is often enough to bring me out of terrible migraines. My doctor wants to put me on Imitrex or Ralpaks (?) but I'm very happy with my 'home remedy.' The caffeine helps the vasculature of your brain, the Advil is a great analgesic, and the nap gives the meds / caffeine time to work, as well as giving you a little bit of energy back..

You're right - tylenol and advil alone don't do anything for my migraines. Another trick that works is taking the Excedrin (or Motrin or whatever) as soon as you start to feel the migraine coming on; seems to work better that way.
