The Sandomigran is for migraine - & so far, is doing a really good job. But this time of the year I get terribly low (not helped by elder d's becoming unstable mentally) - I can't help her, because of the "boyfriend" whom she has complete faith in. He's spent most of life in Jail, so I call him the Prisoner. Hope you are doing well, Fond regards, JaneD.

Just dropped in to give you a bunch of flowers - hoping you are not too bed healthwise. rnso glad the Inderal work for you - I got such a dreadful adverse Drug Reation from it. Now on Sandomigran, which works just really well (Not available in US I'm told).Sad to hear about all the menopause symptoms - has so many of them, so relieved they are all over now. fond regards, JaneD.

No side effects yet from 150 mg, but I have only been on the dose for 1 week.
I’m With You
Hi, I hope your hot flashes go away soon. I also had a total hysterectomy, was 10 yrs. on the estrgen patch and at this point, I am on my 5th year with hot flashes and sometimes the sweats. "Fun" isn't it? Try to catch up on sleep whenever you can. I have used all kinds of probiotics and I find that they are usually effective when they are fresh but by the time I get down to about half the bottle, they are not as effective. I guess the live bacteria are reduced. Currently, I find Kyolic capsules to be good. I buy them in Shop Rite.

Effexor eh. Well...that was one that helped a lot. Helped with my pain associated with migraines. yes...helped with migraines too. Are you having luck with it so far? Made me tired but was worth that in all. Gained a bit of weight and was pretty constipated but those are listed in side effects i guess. (sorry took me so long to respond). Please feel free to write I am feeling bit better now. :) My best to ya!

Close Migraine Headaches
Hi, I've had migraines for over 30 years now, since I was 21. It has controlled my life, not allowing me to work full time or go to school. Before the triptans came out, I was in bed at least 3 days a week. Of course my family doesn't get it at all. So I feel very alone alot of the time. Zomig has been a blessing and I've been on propranolol most of these past years. I've tried Elavil, prozac, Depakote, all made me worse. I just wish people would understand the severity of it all.

Had a complete hysterectomy 5 years ago. Can't take any HRT because of migraines and breast cancer in my family. Symptoms only seem to be getting worse, not better with time! Now I suddenly have terrible anxiety, along with the headaches, hot flashes and night sweats. Fun!
