For all of the other folks here saying ibuprofen isn't strong enough: I have the same, and only with ibuprofen (vs. other over-the-counter drugs like aspirin or paracetemol): if I catch it early enough, sometimes it staves off the full blown migraine development.
I've had migraines since childhood, fortunately only every couple months for 2-4 hours. Weirdly, I'm so used to the pain at this point that I kind of take it in stride.
The downside is that ibuprofen also often upsets my stomach, and in the bad ones, I barf from the pain, so there's a gamble as to which route to go down.
