Question Hi Ashby - how are your headaches?

Hi Ashby

... and welcome.

Wondering how the headaches are, if you've seen improvemennt yet?

also I am unclear whether you are also suffering from depression? Apart from the type of drug - which is used for many conditions - i did not catch from your post that you were being medicated for depression.

My understanding was the imipramine was for 1. sleep, 2. headaches. period. is that right? I would like to understand.

Now for headache, i know that sometimes prevention meds take a while to work. so it may be too soon to say. i have migraine but if you have persistent headache due to TBI that is a different case.

if your doc did not give you a timeline for effectiveness and you see no benefit yet, i might call and
-- 1. let him know you've seen no change so far
-- 2. ask how long it takes to "kick in"

he might decide on the spot that it isn't the right med and give you something different.

do please come back and let us know how things are. i hope things get better soon.

(((hugs)))
