Migrane headaches - Page 2

Got in to see my PCP today. He is a great doc as well as a former Army doctor and he put me on Relpax. Looks like it is not contraindicted to any of the other pain management meds either. That has been a problem in the past and had caused some shuffling around.

I woke this morning with the start of another migraine and within 30-45 minutes of taking the relpax I was golden. Hopefully this is something I won't have to take to often because it made me dog ass tired.

I used to get Tonopan accross the border in Reynosa for my migraine headaches. I've only got a couple in the last 2 years so they aren't really a problem anymore. That medicine is awesome though. Takes about 30 minutes to kick in then the pain is gone.

That was probably not the best choice of words; when I posted that I has been up for about 30 hours so the English skills weren’t quite up to par. Air if I offended you at all I apologize.

I am curious to know if you experience an aura before complete onset of your headaches (ie light or glow around objects)-

No, not that I have noticed. I also do not seem to be photo sensitive.

Hope you are doing better brewmonkey.

They do still prscribe Imitrex and Midrin and I have used them in the past through my PCP but the relpax seems to work the best so far, or at least it works the fastest and provides the best relief.

Could they have given you a combination of DHE and phenergan? The DHE is great at preventing rebounds and the phenergan is for your nausea. It is not a narcotic.
