Thanks Ellie for the info on Fiocet. It seems to be the one that works best fr me. I tried Maxalt and it made me so nauseous. Imitrex is hit or miss. Topmax was ok - loved the weight loss but hated the mood swings.

Mine are definitely hormonal. My periods were also very bad and lo and behold I have endometrios. Feel much better on birth control pills even though I am estrogen dificient. As I have put the pieces together it is looking like the endo is causing a lot of problems.

bhaag might be also worth scheduling some time with your gyn and test your sex hormone levels or even an endocrinolgist.
