After some time of taking zomig nearly everyday I had to resort to syndol again. The side effects of zomig are not pleasant at all and drain all my energy and are too expensive to take everyday. The syndol seemed to be working but after a while they kind of stopped working again but was again addicted.
I have lost hope of my headache problem ever being solved. I cannot stand all this pain and drugs. One way or another I feel sick all times of the day with no exaggeration whatsoever.
t working or appears to only work minimally, the dosage should be increased, depending upon the side-effects the patient may be experiencing. If Topamax isn't working, other medications should be tested--such as beta-blockers. Migraines do not respond to conventional headache treatment or medications, such as tylenol or aspirin--this is likely why you weren't feeling any relief from the NSAIDs you were taking (ibuprofen, Naproxen, etc.).
It has been the only antidepressant that I have found to be successful without side effects. I also take lithium (it helps with the migraines), and that is sort of an antidepressant but not really.
As for triptans, my regular triptan is Zomig Nasal Spray. On average, I use Zomig Nasal Spray every other day. But, there are times where I will go 3 or 4 days without needing to use it. And there are also times where I will use it every day for sometimes up to a week.
I posted a question asking if zomig knocked other people out.... or if anyone found any sort of knock-out side-effects with triptans...
I totally feel out of it after I take my triptans... it takes the pain away... but I am out of it... tired... fatigued... and even confused sometimes for hours after the migraine... sometimes for the rest of the day!!!
Headache on left front side with a crazy visual aura, took zomig, hour later took ibuprofen 600, albuterol sulfate and Ritalin. Cold and hot feeling across skin, mostly on right side, nausea, joint pain, burning pain in abdomen and chest, dizzy, tired and short of breath. Migrating sharp pains across body. Ringing ears. Vision is unnaturally blurry. Chest and stomach symptoms worsen when laying down, head symptoms worsen when standing up.
Zomig Nasal Spray (what I use), Zomig-ZMT, Maxalt-MLT and Imitrex Injection (although the Injection Triptans are only prescribed in the most severe cases usually after all other triptans have been tried, so don't ask for the Injection kind).
Penn1023 made a great suggestion with the Magnesium, as that is one preventative measure that can be taken to reduce the amount and severity of migraine attacks.
I found Maxalt a great medication to take which worked really well for my migraines. It is the new generation rizatriptan and the side effects with me anyway were minimal in comparasion with other tablets like cafergot, migral and zomig. With zomig it used to give me a terrible sensation of my head been squeezed in a vice and with time it just got worse. I believe all medication messes with your liver and kidneys - the secret is to find one that works for you and has minimal side effects.
IM HAVING BAD HEADACHS ON MY LEFT SIDE OF THE HEAD. ITS THAT BAD THAT I GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.NO MEDICATION HELP ME. I GOT CT SCAN DONT EVERYTHINGIS FINE. IT GOES AWAY FOR FEW MONTHS AND COME BACK.. I DNT UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON WITH ME.
I used to use Imagrain 50mg and they worked a treat. However the last few times I used them i started to have side effects (ntingling skin, heat waves, vertigo) and they now no longer work at relieving the pain.
Last night I had the worst one of my life. Nothing helped, no position helped the pain, no massage or rubbing! I almost went to the emergancy but somehow got through it. It was some of the worst pain I have ever expereienced. It was the whole left side of my head and neck.
) and axert (worked extremely well for a time but I developed serotonin-related side-effects and had to switch to zomig). I have tried mega-doses of advil (prescribed) but that caused rebound headaches... I stopped taking advil for a long time and have recently begun taking naproxen (a different type of NSAID) only when there is related neck/shoulder/back pain and the zomig is not providing the relief that I need or I have already taken the maximum 2 doses of zomig for the day.
For weeks my back tried to break itself until a doctor found a brain abscess the size and volume of a golf ball on the left side of my brain. I was rushed to surgery which removed the majority of the abscess via a cranyotomy. That portion of my brain was damaged and said to have been destroyed by the abscess.

3. Levothyroxine - Medline Plus

My RX for them is Zomig ZMT, 12 pills a mo as needed. Sometimes when I get up from bed I am a little loopy feeling, like the Weebles...I always wobble to the right.
OK, so I am weird, I am rereading this and I sound like a hypochondriac! I am just so sick and tired of being sick and tired. The bp meds have brought my lows up, but now my normal is high and my high is really high. I am on the lowest dose and now taking them every other day!
I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
