Medication is only one part of treating a migraine attack. Feeling physically and emotionally better after a migraine attack takes time, and even with migraine medication that works for you, the effects of migraine can linger for days. Many migraineurs experience a postdromal phase — a period of time following a migraine headache where fatigue, mental cloudiness, and mild head pain are common. Giving yourself time to recover in a healthy and comfortable environment is important.
