Yes, many times I feel desperate, frustrated, lonely, etc because I am not the same person I used to be and I know what I should be doing with my kids & I rarely am able to.

Meds for anxiety & depression r also used to treat migraines & your doctor can add on whatever seems best. Of course the anti-seizure Toamax is the " best one to try," then add (generic now) then they could add a blood pressure med like Propanolol ($4 at Walmart w/o ins), if you respond to any of the triptans you could use those The new r expensive but some of the originals mite not b so bad now, liike Imitrex, Maxalt, etc For anxiety I take Lorazepam but some use Xanex, For depression I hv taken several Prozac, Zoloft, or Effexor find 1 that wks for u I hv tried lots of supplements but the ones I hv stuck w are a Multi- B, Vit D-3 (& a dr told me a Vit d deficiency could cause migraines) At nite I stil take a sleeping pill, Ambian, & OTC Melatonin.

Too many pain meds & you will get rebound migraines When I first started dealing w migraines my family dr, and she was so,kind & professional But we just tried 1 med @ a time When I got in with the neuro she prescribed several of the meds I described above

Then there are nerve blocks (injections in your head, I am the biggest wimp n the world but when I hv a migraine they can do anything to me if they think it mite make it stop) and Botox Many r successful w Botox & it did make my forehead pretty. But it gave me horrible indigestion, like wkg up gagging )

Easy things : Pray, Put an ice pack on your head, Turn off lights, Distraction helps me (listening/watching tv but nothing to intense or listening to an audiobk, sometimes tkg to a friend on the phone), Scents also trigger mine ( perfume, cooking onions/bacon, smoke, flowers)

Ok I am tired Please feel free to ask any further questions I hv been going through this for a while & hv tried more than can be mentioned but these r the highlights

I am so sorry you hv these horrible migraines! May God bless you & help you find a solution/help to ease your painView Thread
