Valium...

Does anyone else take Valium for their Migraines? I took one once for a really bad Migraine and it really relaxed me so I could fall asleep..This was after taking tons of other Migraine meds that did NOTHING! I was wondering if anyone else has had this work with them?

i've never tried valium, but xanax has definitely made my migraines feel better. i now have clonepan, and that helps some too.

maybe it is the help with relaxing that helps you feel better, or there could be a chemical-biological-medical pathway that the meds work on. Or maybe even some combination of the two. Definitely something to mention to your doctor! It's awesome when something FINALLY works!!! :)

My brother is a pharmacist so I called him yesterday and asked if there is any medical proof that valium is good for Migraines and he said that new studies are showing that a lot of drugs that weren't meant for Migraines are actually good for them and valium is one of them...woohoo :)

I wouldn't have made it through this week or quite a few previous months without valium! I take Lortab most of the time--it's a mix of aspirin and hydrocodone. I take it to dull the roaring pain, so I can function. Doesn't necessarily pan out that way though...at least I get some good rest if it's dulling the pain. I think if I tried Frova again and mixed it with Valium I'd be great.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
