I've talked to many people that this doesn't work for. I'm thankful it has worked for me. Headaches are a terrible thing to have to live with.

Several years ago I went to a neurologist who had been recommended for treating migraines. He had put me on a regimen of Inderal and Elavil to take daily as a preventative. i had done this for a few years. It had helped; but when Imitrex came on the market as was to be used at onset of migraine, I discontinued the Inderal and Elavil.

This sounds similiar to what you using (blood pressure med) except for the Elavil. Glad this is working for you.
