relpax
Sorry that you are suffering with migraines. Did they instruct you that if you take too many Relpax in a week that you can have migraine rebound? I too have Relpax and my script says no more than 2/day and 3/week because if I do it could cause migraine rebound.
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.
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?
Two things:
Imitrex in it's generic form is available, and cheaper for you AND health insurance.
Secondly, I have had this same issue continuously with my health insurance, and what I've needed to do over and over is get my doctor to apply to health insurance for special dispensation for me. If I need it, I am able to get a 3 month supply of two injections per day from the mail order pharmacy.
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.
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.
(I miscarried this week so this is all irrelevant now as far was asking what I can take while pregnant. Good for future use tho!) Well I learned something interesting in the first nurse visit for my pregnancy. She told me that when we're on our period or pregnant the high hormone levels cause swelling in the membranes. This is what has confused me for years and no other doc or nurse has ever explained it. This swelling is what mimics the sinus pressure.
Hi... can anyone tell me what they use for medicines... I don't react well to the typical meds they prescribe for Chiari... My main pains are headaches,neck pain, hand pain. I've heard of people using excederin migraine.. I have been taking advil for several months and would like to stop taking it... if I could find a replacement. What anti depressants has anyone had success with? Also. how is everyone dealing with the medical bills?
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!
ve blacked out I am still conscious and only lasts a couple seconds and I feel the way I do when awakened from a deep sleep after being extremely sleep deprived. My tongue and body have like a numb tingly feeling like I do as if I just woke up. I feel like I've been asleep or something but I've been awake.
Hi, I'm sry u feel so miserable! I feel ur pain! At this very moment I am suffering from a bad cold/flu infection whatever it is. I see my dr on wed. And I have chronic daily migraines. When I have a sinus infection my migrianes are at their WORST! And I mean WORST!!! So bad Iv made stupid comments about wishing I was dead and that God would just take me from the pain. I take relpax for my migrianes it's a perscription. And I also have immitrex injections.
My husband was perscribed Cymbalta along with Imitrex and Relpax for migranes. He went into a coma and had to be on a respirator in ICU for 3 days. Is this seretonin syndrome? The doctor claimed it was just a coma brought on by an intese migrane! Weird, Huh?
Do you get the early warning bell : which is an aura or spots, which then progress to numbness in the face, then nausea and finally an intense head ache where you cannot face any sort of light, and need to rest in a state of darkness. I used to lock my self in a cupboard seeking complete darkness.
So I tried all sorts of doctors, medication , even the headache clinic, and nothing helped. I used to play soccer, and I was just out of the army, playing a game of soccer .
I am the husband of Tammitha1, she is a gem. I will try the Magnesium & CoQ1O. A couple of more vitamins will be a drop in a bucket.We will began a search for a reliable neurologist. Does your husband take milk thistle ? 2000mg a day is what I use. Thank You & GOD BLESS !
Hello, I have SLE Lupus, Behcet's and Hypothyroid. I have been experiencing migraines for years. The doctors have tried the anti-seizure meds on me but I don't tolerate them. My doctor won't let me take beta blockers because of a severe reaction to them. I currently am on amitriptyline, but it doesn't prevent them well. I currently take relpax and it does well but they only want me to take it 3 times a week and I'm having daily migraines.
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. Some people didn;t notice any changes but it is worth looking into. I have a test for myself coming up called a TEE test. It will tell me if I have a hole or not.
I dont know if I should call the Dr and ask him if I should start taking 150mg or does anyone think its too early to say (3 wks) I take relpax when they get real bad and that works great, but 4 hrs later...BAM, the pain!!!! So, question is should I call the Dr and suggest or wait until I see him on Feb 21!!!...THANX!
s entirely possible my numbness/tingling are due to this but I worry I have MS. Does anyone know if you have ever had an MRI and it was clear, if that means you definitely will never have lesions that show MS? I guess what I'm asking is if I have MS now, would it definitely have shown up 8 years ago on the MRI and if I can rest assured it's not MS. I can't get another MRI as I have no medical insurance. Thanks.
