Gabapentin helps to calm down the nerve pain in my face and head. I also can not take any NSAIDS they cause asthma attacks.

Last time I was in the ER for a migraine there cure was phengan and benadryl. My dr gives me phengan for when I get nauseous with a migraine. They are 2 cheap drugs that do help.

Those drugs are both first generation antihistamines, they cause heavy sedation and can be used for nausea/motion sickness.
I'm familiarr with benadryl but i cannot take it - I get paradoxical agitation from it - incredible agitation. I have never used Phengan but I am not aware that it (or Benadryl) play any role in pain control??
This leaves me very much to wonder, what do the doctors in the ER give you for pain? They must give you something else... do you know?
