t think of them at this time)
I am now being treated with Zonegran, Depakote. The Zonegran was working for a little while but I have seemed to reach a plateau. I have not been migraine free at all since November, but there have been times where my migraines have been less painful. I work for a health insurance company and I am on the computer for 8 hours a day. I have been unalbe to work a full time scheule for the past 3 months due to my migraines.
I do not know who to go see about the aura, I had my eyes checked when the doctors were thought I had MS and I have 20-20 vision and no floaters. I presently see a neurologist who has me on zonegran 2oo mg and flexoril 3 times a day and Diflucan as needed and Maxalt. When the headaches get out of control she puts me on prednisone. I also see a physical therapist at her office weekly for the headaches. I have had trigger point injections ( did not help).
Since October I have tried Lortab (3 strengths), gabapentin, Lyrica, Ultram, Relafen, Zonegran, and Trileptal. I am also on Cymbalta and Ambien. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
17 of 2012 around mid-morning when I began to have vision problems that included spots in my eyes and almost like a shadow fell over my left eye. I thought perhaps I was going to get a migraine since I had heard people describe them that way. The vision probs lasted about 45 minutes and when it went away a headache set in. It was what I would call a mild to moderate headache. Ever since I have a headache. Most days it is tolerable but always uncomfortable.
Hello, I very much need an answer because my doctor will not give me a straight answer. I'm currently on Lamictal (800mg a day) and Zonegran (200mg a day) and I'm a college student so I tend to drink. I've never had a seizure while consuming alcohol but I'm terrified when doing so. So heres my question...
When I drink (beer) with my meds, will it bring on a seizure? or just enhance the side effects?
Please I very much need to know asap! Maybe even stories would helpl too.

I have been diagnosed with pseudotumore cerebri. I am on zonegran and lasix. I think that the swelling in my optic nerve has gone down. I used to just have visual disturbances (auras) right before migraines. For the past 3 months I have had to wear sunglasses almost constantly because I am very photophobic even without a headache. And for 3 months I have had all kinds of visual disturbances. They are happening all the time even in the absence of a headache/migraine.
s office getting IV fluids and I had a migraine from hell on it all 5 days. As soon as I stopped it the migraine left. Discontinued that medication.
Spoke with my PCP about Effexor since it is supposed to work for migraines, blood pressure, menopause. I definitely have acquired anxiety because of all of this and outside of the above attempts...that's all I have tried.
Wouldn't it be great for Effexor to be a cure all. Unfortunately after the ridiculous reactions I have to meds....
He is now able to start learning, and he came off of all medication except for 75 mg of zonegran. He was on 1400mg a day. It has made a huge difference. Hope this helps.
I appreciate it. I have been on depakote, topamax, lamotrigine, zonegran, gabepentin, lamictal, and keppra. Most of them make me so dopey and forgetful that working is definately a challenge. But...no work...no insurance...no medical care. What a nasty circle. I am allergic to the zonegran, blisters in my mouth etc. The others caused severe leg pain, eye pain, anorexia, hairloss, and I suppose i could go on. But you get the picture.
He saw that I was in so much pain so he called a neurologist that saw me the same day. He concluded migraine and put me in the hospital on Dhe, reglan, dilaudid, and phenergan. While I was getting the Dhe my headaches seemed to subside. 3 days later he came by to see if I felt I could go home. I said yes. He said he felt I was anxious and stressed and he was going to give me effexor. An hour after I got home the headache was back in full force. My insurance co.
Once a migraine attack has started it is very hard to end. You need strong drugs for that. Do you usually have migraine attacks that last this long?
Maybe you should see a doctor?
m 38 weeks and Iv had a migraine for 2 days straight. Tylenol is not helping . what did or do you guys think I could do to get rid of this.
It's been around 102 degrees out all day. It's already cooled down but I've been having a bad migraine for a few hours now. I've drank tons of water and napped but nothing is helping.. What should I do? What can I do?
