1- new jacka$$ neuro prescribed me depacoat and imitrex for my headaches... thoughts on these drugs with the knowledge that i have been on their sister meds, propranaol, verapamil and nortrptyline with no success. (forgive my spelling errors on the drugs)
2- I am having more reticular issues from my neck since I have not had any treatment in 2 weeks... do I need to see a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon for this? budging at c4-5, c5-6, c6-7 all touching the spinal cord and i have stenosis.. 3- could the above neck injury be causing the increased dizziness and headaches? thanks!

Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

I have got a Botox treatment 3 months ago and it has subsided my migraines almost completely. I am scheduled to have it done again next week. They also injected some into my trapezius muscles to loosen them up as they were also contributors. I do have frontal headaches daily but the migraines were completely debilitating.
