This did help, along with some bio-feedback training for relaxation techniques. They were helpful as well. This was some years ago. I no longer get the migraines as frequent; but still do get at least once or twice a month. I take Imitrex. This has been the best aid to helping once the migraine has started. The sooner taken, the better. The doctor prescribes 50 mg tablets. They come in a quantity of 9 in a folder. I cut the 50 mgs in half, thus actually taking 25 mg's. The cost for the 50 mg's was the same as the cost for the 25 mg's. By getting the 50 mg's, cutting in half, I get a quantity of 18. Hope this info will be of help. I cannot recommend the Imitrex highly enough. It has been a Godsend. (ger) |

Is Elavil the same thing as Amitriptiline? If so, I'm allergic to it. Was on it for my Fibromyalgia a few years ago. That is a great idea cutting the Imitrex in half! |

Not sure if this has anything to do with my headaches lessening; but after developing PN, I had Vallium added to my regimine of meds. Vallium is to help with anxiety, but also muscle problems. When I get a migraine, it usually would start on the left side; but the neck and shoulder muscle would also be involved. Since being on the Vallium (could be a coincidence) but headaches have lessened greatly. Again, also am careful not to take too many Imitrex as to not cause the "rebound" effect again, which just makes the headaches clear up for a short time and come back with a vengence. Hope you are able to find something to help. These headaches can be so debilitating. (Ger) Last edited by ger715; 03-09-2012 at 03:52 PM. |
