Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
I am one of the lucky people who is loosing weight on Depakote. But with this combination I can't seem to stay awake during the day. The doc just upped my Nortriptline. I don't know if it just that or the combination. Just looking for answers. This is the first day in months without a headache though. Yes

I took nortriptline and had the same problem, I couldn't stay awake... at all, mine ended up going deeper then that though, I ended up not wanting to be awake. I think I got so depressed that I couldn't stay awake that I ended up wanting to stay asleep. It also made me feel pretty crappy. I switched to Welbutrin that is suppose to A. work for headaches with the topamax I'm on and B. Give you more energy the combination seems to be working better then any other and I can stay awake all day.. good luck!

I TAKE NORTRYPTLINE FOR MY DEPRESSION AND IT IS ONLY PRESCRIBED AT BEDTIME. IT IS A TRICYCLIC AND MAKES ONE VERY SLEEPY..KNOCKS ME OUT, IN FACT. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL FOR MIGRAINE RELIEF. I WAS GIVEN IT TO HELP WITH MY INSOMNIA AT THE TIME!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
