      From JaneD August 15, 2008

      Welcome to the DS Support Groups - I've just read your entry - Wow, you have just given me the name of the med. I was put on when I first got migraines - I'd forgotten it - it's a beta-blocker - & I remember now - it is called Inderal. That worked for me so well that I had no more migraines for the rest of the time I was in North America - only downside was going to the Neuro for regular checkups! I will now be able to tell my Dr - if I ever get so bad again: I find that avoiding my allergens is the most important thing - then stress - in my case cold is a big stressor! I should live in the Tropics! (I wish) Best wishes, JaneD.

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I have been a migraine sufferer for over 30 years. For the first time in my life I feel like they are under control.

      Treatments

      Amerge Working / Worked
      I has a sample, took it when I was out of Relpax.. It helped, like relpax better.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I avoid MSG, nutrasweet and red wine
      Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
      Helps if I forget to drink my coffee in the AM, or a coke at lunch
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      This is what I grab fist, Excedrin Migraine. If it does not work in an hour, I take Relpax.
      Fioricet Working / Worked
      It worked, but only in large doses...
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      Imitrex did not work for me when it first came out. The shot in my thight has helped in a dire situation.
      Inderal Working / Worked
      I have taken 80 mg, twice a day for 15 years. I really helps.
      Midrin Not Working
      This med did not really help me, I think it made me feel worse.
      Relpax Working / Worked
      I LOVE this med! did I say I love this med!! The only rescue med that has really worked... It's expensive, but cheaper than an ER visit.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      This helped. I did not like the bad taste it left in my mouth..
