My headaches usually start on the left side of my head and then radiate across from temple to temple. When they are really bad, the base of my neck hurts.
They are usually accompanied by a "carsick" feeling.


The headaches are usually brought on by stressors like holding a long conversation, or getting emotionallly overwhelmed, or being around a lot of people.


Tylenol and Ibuprofen were starting to not work so the doctor prescribed Amantadine, which strangely enough, worked to alleviate my worst headaches (I was having constant pain and now the headaches are event-related).


I am slowly weaning off the Amantadine now, so we will see what happens...I will go back to Tylenol and Ibuprofen as needed.


Usually I just watch my level of activity and try to tailor my day to avoid strenuous activity or overstimulation.
