Valium is sometimes prescribed to help Migraine patients relax or sleep. It will not abort the Migraine process nor will it help with pain. See your physician or headache specialist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and headache disorders.

∙ 11y agoValium IS sometimes given for tension headaches, along with medications like ibuprofen or Naproxen, which are good for decreasing inflammation. Valium can work on relaxing those muscles that are so tight around your head and neck and shoulders during a severe tension headache. I have had it prescribed to me in the ER for that exact reason. But I would be careful with Valium because it can be addictive and like most meds, can have side effects.
