My 18 year old son has terrible migraines and has tried the Imitrex also with terrible results.
He has been using the Relpax and within 20 to 30 mins and only one Relpax pill the headache is gone! He suffered so many years wiht Migraines and now with his dose of Nortriptylin and his relpax as a backup he is living headache free.
Definitely try the Relpax.
Hi!
First off... I use zomig nasal spray for acute therapy. I use topamax 125mg daily for preventative therapy. I also use 400mg of B2 daily for preventative therapy. To supplement acute therapy, I use naproxen (a prescription NSAID).
As for some suggestions... yeah... what DrNoopurMD said!
What is the best way to treat migraine, when you've taken the medicine your Dr. has given you, but it's not working? I take Relpax 40 mg., sometime it helps and sometime it doesn't.
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 been taking Relpax 40 ml for the coming on of a migraine. I have been getting fewer and fewer over the years.
However, I am only allowed 9 pills for the month thru my health insurance. Is there another new migraine medicine out there that I could get that would be similier but would allow me more pills for the month.
i have been with migraine for mor than 20 year last year i stop working beccuse this pain make me stay at home AND I CANTR FIND ANY MEDICATION THAT STOP IT
I have heard that Topamax is another good medication for migraines. Also another migraine medication is Relpax, in addition to others.
The physician above describes well the different types of migraines.
You might also have an underlying condition as well. I would definitely talk with your parents about seeing a neurologist.
I hope you feel better soon!
00 a.m. I wake up the second or third time with a painful migraine headache. The Frova is starting not to have an effect and Imitrex injection works. What would cause me to continually wake up early mornings
with pounding migraines. I don't have and endless supply of medicine. Does any one have an opinion what is going on?
I have a very good diet and don't drink..please advise........
I went to the Doctor yesterday and he just figures I'm having migraines. Is this normal for a migraine? I was walking to the lab to get blood work done today and thank goodness I wasn't very far from home yet. I blacked out in the middle of a busy intersection and was nearly hit by a car. The jerk behind the wheel was still coming at me laying on the horn and I barely was able to get out of the way when I realized what was happening.
I'm scheduled to have a VNG on Tuesday at 3:15pm. I'm a migraine sufferer and I haven't gotten a clear answer from the audiologist about whether Effexor and Topamax will interfere with the results of the VNG. My neurologist has told me that I'm not allowed to stop those. I also have a question about muscle relaxers like Amrix and Zanaflex. I'm trying to go off of my meclazine and this morning has shown me that the next four days are going to be really rough.
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?
My dr recently told me that they are changing one of my meds from lortab to norco, same dosage but less acetaminophen. They also said they would be changing from 3x to 4x per day. I had a migraine during visit and wasn't thinking very clearly, so I didn't think to ask why the increase. I will ask this during my next visit, but in the meantime am wondering if anyone had had a similar situation or may offer any info. Thank you and best wishes for a great day.
Since starting at her present college, my daughter has been experiencing migraine headaches not long after sitting down in her classes each day. She has noticed that the headaches are very, very bad with accompanying dizziness and feeling of being "out of it"; however the symptoms subside once she has been out of class for several hours. She says she almost feels as though there are little brain zaps occuring when the headaches start.
All headaches are not similar in cause or treatment. Cluster Headaches are NOT related to migraine headaches although they are often misdiagnosed as a migraine headache. Cluster headaches affect only 0.1% of the population, and middle aged men are more commonly affected than women. The pain usually happens at the same time each day for several weeks in row and then stops abruptly. It then reoccurs again after a few weeks or months.
I'm 25 years old and got my arrhythmia diagnosed for the first time today, so I'm a bit clueless here. A few weeks ago, my PCP put my on blood pressure meds to control my slightly elevated bp, which was when I started noticing my heart racing very easily, I would black out if I stood up quickly- and things just kept getting worse. I stopped the new medication after 5 days of taking it.
