1806721 tn?1554333407 I've been struggling with migraine during pregnancy in 2015. Recently, I've experience some GI problems that triggered the migraine to return. In the past, when I got an attack, I took a Maxalt immediately and laid down in a quiet dark room putting an ice pack or cold towels on my forehead and neck, and wait... It usually subsided after treatment and I'd fall asleep.
Avatar f tn t mean to interrupt but I am actually a pharmacist and thought I could clarify the maxalt questions.... Maxalt is not a beta blocker. It is a 5HT1B receptor agonist. Basically it's a triptan drug that is used for vascular migraines. Vascular migraines cause vasodilation of blood vessels and that dilation causes pain. Triptan drugs cause vasoconstriction of those blood vessels and thus reduced the pain caused by pressure.
Avatar n tn Just talk to your doctor because there are options that are safe, and severe pain (which if someone says they can cope with using Tylenol is NOT severe ) releases a stress hormone into your system called cortisol. Cortisol restricts new cell growth so obviously pain that is severe enough in pregnancy could become a real problem if left untreated, not to mention that migraines severe enough and left untreated can lead to strokes.
Avatar f tn There are a lot of drugs that are prohibited during pregnancy and others that have been proven safe. Adderall is a grey area. My opinion is that it isn't a good idea to start or resume taking Adderall during pregnancy. If you were currently taking Adderall it would be a different story. I think that is how a lot of doctors might see it too. However, you could probably find a doctor to proscribe it.
Avatar f tn Yes, it is safe to use glycerine lotion during pregnancy. In fact, it's actually the best kind of lotion to use during your pregnancy. Glycerine-based lotion is very soft and gentle on the skin - perfect for you during your pregnancy. Good luck with your pregnancy!

1667553 tn?1328468936 Venlafaxine is a pregnancy category C, meaning you would need to weigh the risk vs benefit of taking the drug. I don't know your situation, and I can't give you advice, but there have been some case studies showing fetal harm and some that have not shown harm. You should talk to your primary care physician regarding the best option for you.
Avatar f tn Is it safe for a woman to receive massage during pregnancy? Some massage classes say massage of the feet, and/ or calves, or during the first trimester, could cause a miscarriage. Other classes say it is safe to massage a woman throughout her pregnancy, only avoiding deep pressure. Still other classes specifically recommend extra work on a pregnant woman's feet and calves. Any advice or information is greatly appreciated.
655875 tn?1295695107 My friend had called me and I told her that I was too sick to talk and that I had run out of my Maxalt. My friend is a life saver! When she got off of work, she picked up my Maxalt and brought it to me. She also brought me some hot dogs, chips and pop because I had nothing to eat in the house. Hubby left on Wednsday and took the kids up to the cabin, so I've been here alone. I thought that was extremely nice of my friend to go and do that for me.
