Migraines? Who gets them? Whats your treatment?

**faygokraze** · 11-23-2003, 06:38 AM

Just wanted to see who else gets migraines on here?

I get them really bad. I take medicine daily to prevent and take medicine when they happen. I always see auras before they begin and sometimes cant feel my left side when it happens!

How about you guys?

I do. I take Imitrex when I feel one coming on.

I use to get them nearly everyday. Thankfully since my thyroid surgery I haven't had ANY

You definately have my sympathy, migraines suck! I always took excederine migraine....didn't completely get rid of them but it would take alot of the edge off.

I'm on Zomig and Fioricet. I get some mean auras, with loss of vision or the *black shadows* as I call them. One minute all I see are colors, the next my vision goes black. One of my new pre-migraine symptoms is vertigo. As if it wasn't bad enough before. The Zomig can handle some of the pre-migraine symptoms and doesn't do anything really for the actual migraine pain. That's where the Fioricet comes in.

I take Excedrine Migraine or Excedrine Tension Headache. The last time I tried a prescription is messed me up. I couldn't walk, no one could wake me up it was like I was in a coma or something.

*making mental note to choke the stress inducers* LOL< then there goes my whole family!!!
Yes, I get them, just started too. I take Imitrex, and if that doesn't work, then I go and get a shot.
I see the auras and "flashes"-resembles a camera flash and my right eye feels like it's swollen.
I am still keeping a journal to see what type of pattern I have so that I can know when it's coming.

I used to take excederine migrane, but I got to a point where even that didnt work. I have vistaril that I take now and it seems to work pretty good. Only prob with the vistaril is it knocks me out. So I have to be sure hubby is home before I take it. Also helps with the anxiety attacks that I get.

I do I take Excedrine Migraine and if that does not help I have to go lay down in my room with lights and tv off and curtins pulled shut. and sometimes they get so bad it makes me so sick.

I used to take Maxalt mlt(which i love it has been my best treatment since I started having them at 16) and daily propanol, but right now I'm nursing my dot, so I take vicodin(doesn't work makes me feel car sick) and the daily.I would recommend maxalt to anyone, my mom has also started using it and really likes it, she takes the pill form. I took the melt in your mouth kind. Have a great day
