Hey, please tell me about the benadryl. I haven't been using it because I didn't have anything that seemed like an allergic reaction. Would benadryl help prevent a headache?

The Relpax I took last night was wonderful. It took away the headache, and I slept really well all night, and no headache this morning. Relpax is a triptan migraine drug (there a lots of them. Here's Wikipedia's list: "sumatriptan (Imitrex, Imigran, Cinie, Illument, Migriptan), rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge, Naramig), zolmitriptan (Zomig), eletriptan (Relpax), almotriptan (Axert, Almogran), frovatriptan (Frova, Migard, Frovamig), and avitriptan (BMS-180,048).") I took it even though the headache didn't feel like my typical migraine.

I wonder if other IVIG patients who are prone to headaches would benefit from this drug.

Abby
