Thanks
Kelly, I suffered for years with migraines. And like you I was on
Imitrex. I went in
for CAT scans, MRI's etc, they never found a cause. I was about fed
up with not being
able to function. I went to an OLD doctor, the oldest one at the
clinic I usually go
to (I'd always seen a young and handsome DR before, and I got this
guy because he was
the only one with openings). Anyways, he took my history, asked me
for everything I'd
tried, then he asked "Ever tried Amitriptylin?" I was like "What's
that?", and he
told me it's an old style tricyclic antidepressant, when use in high
dosages (300MG
and up), but it's been shown to END chronic pain and migraines,
though no testing has
ever been done to study the "hows" of it. Anyways, the dosage is
25MG once a day at
bedtime. I kid you not, I went from 2 migraines a week, to NONE in a
month, and have
not had but ONE since (about 6 months ago). SO... I advise you ask
your doctor about
low dose Amitriptylin.
