Your headaches could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs immediate treatment. The most common prescription medications for headaches are NSAIDs in higher doses, aspirin with codeine or a sedative, and plant substances called ergots. These have been proven to be effective against migraine headaches, triptans, and other anti-nausea drugs.
Prophylactic prescriptions include beta-blockers which block beta-receptors in adrenaline’s nervous system. Some patients have experienced a reduction in headache frequency and intensity with certain anti-depressant drugs.
