Why shouldn't I lay down after taking Excedrin migraine medication for 15 minutes?
Laying down immediately after taking Excedrin migraine medication can potentially delay its absorption and effectiveness. Staying upright helps facilitate the medication's passage through the digestive system, which can enhance its action against migraine symptoms. Additionally, lying down may trigger or exacerbate nausea, a common side effect of both migraines and the medication. It's generally recommended to remain seated or upright for at least 15-30 minutes after taking such medications.

Are zolmitriptan tablets ever prescribed for silent migraines?
Yes, it can be. Silent migraines (ocular migraines, acephalgic migraines) are migraines in which the pain phase of the migraine is not experienced. This means the prodrome, aura phase, and post drome phases can be, the aura being the most noticeable. Whether or not you are prescribed migraine abortive medication to deal with your silent migraines really depends on how long your aura lasts. If you have an aura which only lasts 15 minutes, then by the time the medication would start working - your aura might be over anyway. If, however, you have an aura which lasts 30 minutes or longer, it might benefit you to have medication that will end it. Because zolmitriptan is a medication targetted toward aborting migraine, not just simply treating migraine pain, it can be successful at treating migraine aura.

Is there any preventative medication for headache during studying for exams?
I have had a similar problem all through the previous 20+ years of school (I've been at it a while). My doctors have regularly suggested increased exercise while exploring a number of options from migraine medication to massage, etc. I've found that the only thing that has helped long term and had any even immediate effect is regular daily (rather than the 3 days a week so often suggested by the media) exercise of at least 30 minutes combining strength training with cardio. Shortening study time to the "pomodoro method" (45 minutes on / 15 minutes off) has also helped with some form of light physical activity during the fifteen minutes off.
