Hi Tracy,

 

If your Migraine hasn't gone away at this point, I don't think ibuprophen will do it now. Do you have any rescue medications (these are meds that can be used when abortives don't work) your doctor has given you? Look at our article; Preventive, Abortive, and Rescue Medications - What's the Difference? 

 

Good luck

Nancy
