I read your question carefully and I am sorry about your situation.

It is a little difficult to answer your question though. You do not give any detail about your age, other medical conditions and the characteristics of your headache. Without any such info it is impossible to determine what kind of headache you have and hence the best medication.
Also some more details on your side effects might be helpful. You mention two drugs and say only it was horrible, but do not mention whether you were on them both at the same time and what were the side effects, perhaps only one of the medications might have been responsible.

So please in order for me or my colleagues to be able to help you, try to make your question again providing more information this time.

I will be looking forward to hearing from you again.
