What does relpax do

Common Questions and Answers about What does relpax do

relpax

It has VERY effectively taken them away, but since I got to the point of abusing them the last 4 years and have made the conscious decision to never take one again…what now? I will inevitably get at least a few migraines EVERY month around menstruation. Sure I have plenty of Tylenol and Ibuprofen, but that seriously does nothing for those kinds of migraines. I really really don’t want to suffer, but I also don’t want to get addicted to anything else. So, what other options are there.

I think you are right the lack of sleep does add to my anxiety. I do exercise every day and it does help. But, I really think the Ambien is a BIG problem. I took 10 mg for 12 nights. I was beginning to see the light at the end for my hydro withdrawal but started the Ambien to help with my sleep. Didn't realize I was going backwards in my withdrawal because of the Ambien. I feel today like I'm back at day 4! I wonder how long this withdrawal will last?

I have also tried the usual migraine meds like frova and relpax. That does nothing either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

Dealt on my own for 6yrs (WAY TOO LONG). When the neurologist gave me an rx for relpax (along with two other things) couple of wks ago, had no clue why it only had six pills in the box. They worked like GOLD if I took them soon enough with an acute migraine attack. Didn't last long though. After four days, was out of the six pills. Thought that's why he gave me "5 refills" until dumby me went to the pharmacy to get what I thought would be the first refill.

Once the vomiting starts, I am unable to take anything orally - pain meds or even water. Does anyone know of a patch or cream that can be applied as a pain reliever for the migraine? Or maybe to at least stop the vomiting?

I have had migraines for ten years and I take relpax at the onset of a headache, sometimes though it gets to be too often and I cannot take relpax anymore than 3 times a week I know that my neck has quite a lot of knots and i get a lot of pain from my back especially neck before a migraine and I do believe they start from there. Does anyone know if physical therapy help migraines? can anyone help in pointing me towards the right thing?

Been on a lot of different meds and nothing seems to truly work. If my headache is an actual migraine, then relpax does work for me. However, I've been having this pressure at the top of my head for weeks now and it has gotten much worse. When I take relpax for it, it makes it a little better, but not 100%. The pain sometimes goes behind my eyes and then I can't even do my job..which is computer related. Now is pain has moved to the back of my head to the right side behind my ear.

Has anyone ever heard that it is dangerous to take Sansert and Relpax together. What I have read, indicates that you should wait 24 hours inbetween. My Dr. said I could take Relpax while on a daily dose of Sansert, if I get a migraine. I am afraid to do this. Does anyone have experience with these two drugs? Any information would be helpful.

Part of this may have been stress but I doubt it cause my headaches are usually caused by eating something that my body does not like. Proof again that what we put into our bodies is the fuel and also the fire to light the pain back up in motion. I again have learned that eating out is still risky business and I must be more careful of certain ingredients. I do not wish to suffer because I made the mistake of putting something in my mouth that I should not have.

I do not have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, I do not drink or smoke and there is no family history of heart problems. My question then is, does anyone know what might be causing this uncomfortable feeling in my chest and the heaviness in my arms? I would appreciate any help or ideas you can give me.

It sounds like the relpax isn't really doing this... that hung over feeling might not really be a side-effect of the relpax, it might still be the migraine and the relpax might not be properly treating the migraine. It does not sound like you have 100% relief of your symptoms.

She says that her left eye hurts when she is having headaches but does not complain about her back hurting at all. What could be causing this? Does anyone have any simular expierences?

Now I am seeing a neurologist who is doing an MRI but he is already saying he does not know what to do if the MRI doesn't find anything. The pain feels like a deep, dull ache. Looking down and relaxing my eye helps. Also, my doc ruled out migraine. I get those and Relpax work fine for them, but not for this. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks!

I know that hormone changes are bad to alot of people that have autoimmune disease also. Do you ever have the migraine aura, with/without headache. What about irritable bowel? It seems that if I don't get the migraine around the time of the month that I usually do, I get the IB instead. Hot water seems to settle mine down some. Could this all be migraines, MS, Lyme, hormones, or just plain old anxiety?

Vertex headache is what I was diagnosed with in March of this year. It is a rare side effect of pituitary macroadenomas. During my surgery they were not able to remove the entire tumor because of its proximate to the carotid artery. Is this why I still have the headache? After my surgery, I was dismayed to find that I still have this Vertex headache, or a headache on top of my head. It is daily, 24/7.

said I could take Relpax while on a daily dose of Sansert, if I get a migraine. I am afraid to do this because of what the pharmacy has said, even though the Dr. says it is ok. Any information would be helpful.

I was very afraid to start it because of all the side effects but the only thing I noticed is I am sleeping through the night. Anyone know how long you have to take it and at what does you should start to see side effects if they are going to happen?

Long story short,,, I have been doing research on migraines for a long time and found what I think is a concrete connection between a PFO and migraine. A PFO is a hole in between the chambers of the heart. Everyone is born with it but for some it does not close up. Children usually do not show symptoms of this and so it goes unnoticed until middle age where people begin to stroke. People noticed once their hole was closed their migraines were gone.

Any thoughts to why I have them would be appreciated! I am on Oxycontone, percocet, neurotin, lyrica, depakote. I do have fibromyalgia which does not help my situation. Thanks and have a great week!

I will try going to three in a few weeks and see what happens. The problem is I always take two at a time, so what do I do - take 1, 1 and 1? Thanks for checking in on me. Where are you in the withdrawal process?

Atenolol is a very good medicine, virtually harmless. But it can lower the blood pressure, which can cause some of your feelings of being tired. Therefore, it could be the dose of that medicine needs to be adjusted, but only by your doc. The rash can come from a lot of things, but one thing to doublecheck is any change in laundry detergent or soap. Both can cause itching and subsequent rash.

Has anyone out there experienced migraines with their FMS? If so, what do you take for them, and what do you recommend in terms of therapy and management suggestions? Imitrex really works for me, but if it is causing other problems I may have to find alternatives. Any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.

So my question is...what can I do to increase my chances of staying clean? What should I do for my migraines? Is there anything thats pretty strong but not an opiate? I really want to kick this habit and would appreciate any help/advice you could give me.

I would like to ask my neurologist if we can go with the Midrin and Percocet combination (when needed), but I am afraid if I do ask for the Percocet he will think I am a drug-seeking patient. However it really does seem to work the best for me. Do any of you have any advice about how I can approach this without him thinking it is an attempt to weasel narcotics?

I also take that along with Fiorocet if it doesn't go away after taking two of the Relpax (which it does call for). I also take the Topamax once a day (100mg), which some get terrible side effects from. Hang in there girl!

Topamax in higher does does do weird things I was up to only 75mg and I had that weird leg thing. I'm down to fifty and my headaches are just that not migraines.

I have also been itchy. I am taking topamax for migraine prevention, lexapro for mild depression, and relpax when I have a migraine. I take a diuretic, but am currently out of it and need to refill it. Also, I have found myself wanting to sleep more and falling asleep in my chair for hours(sometimes for the whole night). I hope that this does not indicate something serious - I am not very good about taking time off for doctor visits and check ups. Thank you for your help.

I would say that he seems pretty concerned if he is ordering all these things. What are vascular voids and what does no abnormal enhancement mean? An MRI would pick up if it was a tumor right?? What does no mass or mass effect mean? The neurologist didn't really explain this to me. Please help! I'm very nervous to have to be doing all these tests. I'm newly married and afraid to start a family until I know what this all means.

i've had a ct scan, topamax, prednisone, tried imitrex and frova. currently prescribed amitriptyline and relpax. i'm sensitive to medicines and have dropped to 92 lbs. losing 5 of those lbs. in less than a month. i'm hoping the combination of meds at the moment will do the trick. but i still feel pain under the medicine. i have one sided head/ear/neck pain and that travels down my entire right side.( arm, hand, leg, foot including my ribs). my ear and jaw constantly hurt.
