Migraines and pregnancy

by nsyncchick4lb, Sep 09, 2008 08:08PM
I am 15 weeks pregnant and a long time sufferer of migraine headaches.  Right now I am in the middle of a 2 week long migraine headache.  My OB has given me Tylenol with codeine which isn't helping at all.  Is there anything else that I can try that won't be harmful to the baby?  I'm really trying to avoid going to the ER because I don't want to have to be admitted.

Ask your doctor for Imitrex 100mg, is not narcotic, non addictive and it takes away your migraine right away. I'm also a migraine surferer and have tried a lot of medications and Imitrex works wonders.
Good luck
