Hi About to embark on my 4th IVF cycle and was wondering if anyone has any luck with migraine treatments that are drug free. I suffer greatly with migraines lasting about 3 days unless I take a zomig. I am dreading it already. Of course have tried the cold press on the neck, back etc. Someone recently told me about eating Kiwi's when one started and it helped a little but I would love to hear from anyone who has any experience of this and has found a food/drink/treatment that has worked f

I need to obtain information from 3 different prescription benefit plans. You may use your own, or those of people you know. Several plans have formulary information available on the internet that is accessible without being a member. I want you to find information about the following drugs that will include if they are formulary, which tier they are covered under, if there is anything required to have the drug covered (ie: prior authorization), and what the copay is under the plan. You need

For the past six months I have been suffering with migraines and they seem to be getting worse. First they start off with an aura, tunnel vision, flashing lights etc and then I get severe headache with vomiting which can last between 4 and 24 hours. The day after I am so wiped out that I can't go back into work. I have had two migraines in the last month and had three days off work and worried that this is going to go down on my record as a black mark. People at work say they understand but

I have been dealing with migraines for about six months now, every medicine my dr gives me doesn't seem to help any, so she out me on Topamax and Zomig and meloxicam, I have gotten the meloxicam filled but waiting g on the other because of the cost.

Hi there, At the moment I am on Benefits and get so tired, day in and day out of doing nothing, sitting behind 4 walls. I am currently on Incapacity Benefit, Income Support Top-up and D.L.A. I have been diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia and a whole host of other Conditions including Social Anxiety and Panic Disorder. I don't know if I should go back to College (Part Time as I couldn't handle Full Time) or not. What is classed as 'Full Time' in terms of College rules? Am I supposed to be

I'm really depressed and have been for a long time, I haven't really told anyone about it and am struggling to try and fix my problems. So when I found out I had hypothyroidism and saw that depression was a symptom, I was really hoping that once my TSH levels were regulated I would be able to feel good again, finally. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I've been on my meds for awhile now, and according to my blood tests my TSH levels are all good, but I'm still depressed. I've cut, and I know

I am on a whole bunch of meds right now for various things and I'm wondering if they are causing more harm then good cause most of them warn against mixing with at least one of the others. My MD prescribed them all. Everyday -Prozac (80mg) -Nortriptyline (75mg) -Atacand (4mg) As needed (for migraines) - Zomig - Maxalt I am a 23 yr old female I am on the Prozac for OCD and Anxiety - have been on this for almost 3 years I am on the Nortriptyline and Atacand for the prevention of migraines.

I suffer from migraine headaches and eat 6-8 excedrin daily. I've been taking excedrin like this for about 5 years now, it use to be 4-6 when i was an early teen. I am on zomig which is a prescription medication for migraines. I get these pains somewhat like heartburn but more severve and i also get pain in my kidneys and urinate frequently with pain, i'm wondering if its caused by excedrin and if not what excatly am i doing to my body by eating excedrin like this everyday of my life? I wa

I've had migraines for years now. They have now worsened to the point where I get them if the weather changes (which happens almost daily where I live) and when I cry. When I get migraines I have vomiting fits. So I'm basically forcing myself not to cry right now. :/ My doctor prescribed me Zomig, but it's for the pain. I was hoping to find something that works more for the inflammation, either to make them less intense or prevent them altogether. I want to treat the actual problem here, not

I've always had headaches since I was younger. Ill even get a migraine every once in a while and ill take zomig to get rid of it. These past couple of weeks I have had a headache almost everyday and they escalate into bad headaches where I am on a heating pad. I've had to take zomig for almost every one because that seems to be the only thing helping them. Idk what could be causing these. Any help!?

I got a migraine on dec. 26th. I have taken Zomig and Excedrin Migraine to treat it and so far neither one has helped take it completely away. It may go away for about an hour or so but I can still feel it lingering waiting to come back and within an hour it is back. The pain is constant throbbing in my right temple and my neck muscles have been really tight but i have not been able to get them to loosen. I have even gone to the chiropractor andhe wasnt able to get it either. I know it is a mi

So I am the biggest worrier in the world. I have a certain sickness or pain that I'm unsure of and I look it up on the internet and come to the conclusion that I am dying...every time. This, however; is never the case. Well since last night, I started developing a headache on the left side of my head. It started as the whole left side and it now seems to just be focused behind my left eye. I never really get migranes but I feel like this is one of them...or worse. Everytime I stand up or see b

Well I woke up today, and I started getting the weird eye thing that let's you know a migraines coming on. Well I've had migraines many times before, so my doctor gave me Zomig, I took some of that. My nose has been stuffed up and I've already had a slight headache for the past few days. Well anyways, I dozed off a couple of times, but I just couldn't go to sleep..well the migraine has gone away some, but I still have a headache. I threw up also. But I just want my headache to go away! I hate

I have had a constant migraine for the past 2 and 1/2 years and does not want to go away. I have seen several doctors and have had several test run and nothing comes up. My doctors first thought it was being caused by High Blood Pressure but my blood pressure is under control. I have tried and failed several migraine medications ie: Axert, Zomig, Trexamet, Maxalt, Relpax, and Imitrex. My neurologist just suggested taking Namenda, I have been trying to look for some information online and talk

i took 2 of them and now i have pain in my neck, muscle aches and pains, heat and tingling sensations and heaviness

I have been suffering from severe migraines for about 15 years now. They are bad enough that I have been on FMLA where I would have to take days off work because they are so bad. I get them about once a week or more. Some have been bad enough that I have had to go to the Emergency Room to get IVs for dehydration from throwing up and pain medication. I have been on several types of drugs. Zomig helps SOMETIMES but not all times and it makes me incredibly tired. For more severe headaches I have

i've been having terrible chronic migraines ever since i was 13 years old but it's recently been getting worse. before when i could last a few hours before becoming disabilited, i cant do it anymore. the headache just goes from 0 to 100 in a matter of minutes. no medication helps because i just throw it up as soon as i take it. the ONLY thing that gets rid of my migraines is going to sleep. the ONLY cause that i've noticed to CAUSE a migraine is not getting enough sleep or restful sleep the ni

Do teens/adults use it to get a "high"? My son is now on it and he has had past experiences with a drug problem.

I got a migraine about 45 minutes ago. The classic kind. (The aura then pain) Well I took the medicene the doctor gave me called Zomig. 2.5 mg? I think. I am 13 years old and I was wondering if it was okay to take a tylenol or something because I still have some pain and I have to be somewhere. I took the Zomig about 30 m minutes ago.

I have been given samples and am afraid of the side effects of each. What have others experienced?

She has been to 3 different doctors and after the first two told her all she needs to do is take ibuprofen (which doesn't work for her), the third one finally prescribed her Zomig (which although doesn't work all the time, at least helps to ease the pain more then anything else she's done). The problem with that is its $25 for 3 pills, which any sane person would agree is a little outrageous. My question is, has anyone with the same problem ever been prescribed to something that worked for the

I started having Migraines at 15. By the time I was 20 I was having them everyday. They just vary in pain levels; sometimes I have the full blown; pounding, cant, eat, sleep, nausea, light sensitivity etc. Where all I can to is hide in a dark, quiet room with an ice bag on my head, these can last for 3 days. While other times, it is moderate pain that I can treat with pain medication and be able to somewhat manage the day. I never drive while on narcotics. (I just don't want that to be an

Okay, so, I'm 15 years old, and having an excruciating, nauseating migraine. I've taken Zomig (a prescription for migraines, my mom gave it to me.) And I took some Excedrin Migraine, and I still feel awful. My head is throbbing, and I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I've been told to lay down, and have a rag on it. But, I really don't have the time to lay down. I have homework, and need to take care of my little cousin, and I gotta make dinner..Can anyone think of a way to relive me of my pain.

Do you get migraines? I have been getting migraines about every 3-4 days. It drives me nuts and no one can figure out what's wrong. So what I'm wondering is, do you get migraines and do you know why you get them? What medications do you take for them? I take zomig. And it's just okay. Thanks 10 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details Also, I've been getting them more 8 years so this isn't a new thing lol 10 minutes ago

I take Zomig for migraines and it makes me really sick. The stomach ache I get from the medicine is like a hungover feeling - like I'm hungry when I'm not and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I took Relpax before switching to Zomig because my doctor thought it might not make me sick, but both of them do. The only thing that doesn't make me sick is Imitrex Nasal Spray, but my insurance only covers 6 of those and I need to take 2 for my migraine to go away. Should I switch my migraine medi

I am having some side effects of taking Zomig. Nothing serious how long does it usually last.

It seems that on a regular basis I suffer from some sort of head pain. I have been recently medically discharged by the military because these head pains stopped me from pulling my weight. In the summer of 2008 when I was based in little rock ar, they were at their worst. It was definitely cluster headaches. I've been to 2 neurologists, I've had 4 mri's, ekg's, eeg's and I've been on every possible medication otc and zomig, maxalt etc. I've been to the dentist and the eye doctor and everything

My son in his late 20's spasmodically gets periods where he will have half a dozen or so really vicious Cluster Migraine's in a week. Various medications have been tried by his Doctor including Zomig wafers and Immiject {Sprung loaded syringe with one time medication capsule unit. Zomig works, but takes quite a while and after his first try with Immiject (where he accidentally injected straight into the thigh muscle and the injection hurt more than the migraine} he wont use them again. One o

someone i know recently got verdigo he was prescribed Zomig for migraines that could have caused the vertigo. He recently went in for a check up and was told the medication was making him worse. Now he cant walk right or have correct balance and is out of work until he can be 100%. The medication says not to precribe to patients with high blood pressure which he had. SHould he sue the doctor for precribing it or the medication which also is said to take 5mg tablets that can be taken within a t

I know this is LONG, but if you know anything about headaches (professionally), espcially MD/experts/specialists PLEASE read. For the past 10 years, I have been battling progressively worsening migraines/tension headaches. (I can pretty much take care of the tensions with TENS unit, heat and regular massages) but the migraines occur 3-5+ times per week and are debilitating. I have been on 78 different medications- preventatives, abortives, narcotics, psychiatric meds as well pure oxygen), pre

I can't take the typical imitrix, zomig, etc as I have high blood pressure and they make me feel as though I am having a heart attack. I have been using just a pain reliever (vicodin), but not much luck. My doc just gave me a prescription for ultram and fioricet; neither of which I have taken yet, can anyone give me an insight into these meds and what I might expect. Are they addictive? The prescriptions he gave me are for rather large amounts (quantity) so I wouldn't think so. Another th

I was prescribed Zomig ZMT 2.5 mg (Zolmitriptan) by my Neurologist (along with other medications) to see if maybe they can relieve my migraines. The other two prescriptions she gave me are useless. The one does nothing. And the other is actually an anti-depressant that should help me stay asleep and wake without a headache, but just makes me tired the entire next day. This seems to be the only medicine that somewhat helps. It takes a while, but it helps. But this is what the website says ab

I've been to doctor after doctor after specialist after specialist and after several years and thousands of dollars, they still have not come up with anything. So I'm asking here. Not to get an accurate diagnosis, but just asking people suggestions that I may bring up to my doctors so that they know where to stem off a research into. Currently I see a regular doctor (everything else), Neurologist (migraines), Dermatologist (suspicious mole removal) and a Physical Therapist (cervicalgia). I

I've been getting migraines since I moved to my new AF base and the base location has a high altitude so I figured my migraines were because of this fact but I've been here two years. The doctor gave me Zomig to prevent the migraines but that worked for only so long and now it's not really not helping even prevent them! These migraines are horrible, I vomit with them, my head throbs, my body feels like it's shaky and during really bad migraines I can barely talk. These really prevents me from

I have migraines about every 2 weeks and I'm always scared to mix my medication since I'm also on the daily birth control pill. Are the chances of the pill less effective then because of Zomig? I tried to do research on it but all I could find was "Additional monitoring of your dose or condition may be needed if you are taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills), cimetidine, or other migraine medicines. " on drugs.com. Otherelse than the birth control and Zomig, there are no other dru

medicine, and migraine medicine, nothing helps. I have tried Zomig. Nothing works, it is located in my right temple most of the time, and when it is not there, it is in my forehead right above my right eye. It is always concentrated to those spots, and rarely anywhere else.. HElp?

I suffer from chronic migraines, but haven't really gotten anything prescribed to me because my mother has migraines as well. Somehow, she doesn't care if I have them or not.

i've recently been put on a migraine medication, and i'm supposed to take it suring the aura or the pain phase. I am unfamiliar with migraine medication and wondering if the medication will help with all the other phases of the migraine, or just the pain phase? The pain of the migraine I can handle for the most part, it's the postdome or whatever the last phase is that really bothers me... it takes me days to recover from a migraine, and wondering if the Zomig would help with that?
