Can a muscle relaxer such as Skelaxin or Flexeril help with atypical migraine?

A muscle relaxer can help to decrease inflammation on nerves which are just itching to act out and blow up into a migraine. (As in, your muscles are tight and consticting nerves the nerves are constricted and increased inflammation, the whole migraine process gets kicked off). They can also assist in ending migraines, by helping to not prolong certain nerves from being in flames. They can also help you deal with bothersome affects, such as tightening of muscles during a migraine. Muscle relaxers will not help with the hemiplegia, numbness, or weakness that may occur in the body during atypical migraine. They are not considered a migraine abortive, so they aren't something which you can take to end the migraine. As far as muscle relaxants go, Tizanidine (Zanaflex) is what many headache specialists are using. Sometimes they pair this with Baclofen, which works on GABA like Neurontin does to control pain, but mainly works as an anti-spasmodic. These are paired together as a preventative measure, for people with forms of chronic daily headache.

Can napprox use for preventing migraine pain?

Naprox (naproxen sodium) can be used to treat migraine. As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, it works directly on the inflammation of nerves and blood vessels that are causing you so much pain during a migraine. Naproxen can also be used in helping to prevent migraines by reducing prostaglandins in the body which set up inflammation which kicks off the migraine process.
