Yup.

It's called one shot of demerol and one shot of phenergan/torridol!!! To be administered in a clinical setting, only if you have someone else to drive you home!

O.K., that was really written "tongue-in-cheek", but until I started on Topamax, it was the only way I could handle my migraines.

The rescue medications (Immitrex, Maxalt, Axert, etc.) stopped working within about 2-3 months of using them, and when my migraines start, they ususally come almost daily for upwards of 20 days...until I have a round of steriods.

I started taking Topamax, (50mg morning and night) and it has made a significant impact on the migraines, although they haven't completely disappeared. Since I've been on the daily dose of Topamax, I've only had to go to the urgent once before giving in and taking a round of solumedrol.

This is a significant improvement for me.
