Since you said Paracetemol, it sounds like you're from the UK.
1. Over the counter you folks have access to a migraine abortive that we can only get through prescription in the US. It is called Imigran. It comes in 50mg dosage. Our prescription dosage in the US comes in either 50mg or 100mg.
If you can find an OTC version of the drug Naprosyn and take enough to equal 500mg, and take that at the same time as the Imigran, then you would be taking the same as the US prescription Treximet. Treximet contains the Naproxen to make the the Imitrex/Imigran (sumatriptan) work longer and better by reducing the inflammation in the brain.
2. In the UK, you also have your choice of many different OTC pain relievers that contain small amounts of narcotic medications. While the ones below may not end your migraine, they will be able to help control pain.
a) Migraleve - Paracetamol, codeine (the pink Migraleve also have buclizine to relieve nausea)
b) Solpadeine Migraine - ibuprofen, codeine
c) Paramol - paracetamol, dihydrocodeine
These are all over the counter. Be careful of how much paracetamol you are ingesting.
If you go to your doctor, there are many, many more medications available that can help relieve your migraine with little side effects. It takes trial and error. If you are having more than 2 migraines a month, then you qualify to take preventative migraine medication.
Ask about the following abortive migraine medications:
Sumatriptan, Rizatriptan, Eletriptan, Frovatriptan, Naratriptan, Zolmitriptan, Almotriptan.
If you are suffering from menstrual migraine, you might wish to start with Frovatriptan, due to its ability to stay in the body for an extended period of time.
