Default Migraine sufferer too...

Hi Princess76,

So sorry to hear about your migraines. I have been dealing with them myself since I was a kid, I inherited them from my parents. The only thing that has helped me is a daily dose of Topamax. I take the generic form and I take my entire dose at night to help me sleep (dr's orders). There is an adjustment period once you start taking it, tingling in your legs and hands and possible nausea. Eating potassium everyday (a kiwi) will eliminate the tingling until you get past that adjustment period.

I still get migraines, but no where near as much. When I do I take Amerge for them as it is the ONLY drug that helps them.

I wish you luck!
