Diet Sodas were a big part of my wife's migranes.   When she quit drinking Diet coke it was the first time she didn't have some kind of headache 24:7    Hope you find an answer!   I can't imagine it.

I did, I have migranes and was given pamalor, it worked really good for me, I stipped taking it and I am thinking I should go back on it again. I took it with imitrex. they worked fine for me. '
I have also taken wellbruten, but I don't remember why I stipped, I'm wondering if there is one med that will help with depression and weight loss and will not interfear with my sex drive? does anyone know?

If I accidentally skip my AD medication or forget to take it for a day, then I get severe migrain headaches. They last all day and are very painful. Even a double dose of Advil or Excedrin will not ease them.

I suffer from migraines and get relief from a drug called Amerge. I also take an AD, xanax, and Ambien for sleep. These drugs can be taken in tandem with the Amerge, which I only take when I have an attack.

I'd suggest that you go to a neurologist who specializes in migraine, so they can determine the type of migraine that you have...there are cluster headaches, for example....one type of migraine....

Once you've had a proper work-up, they can prescribe one of the many great migraine drugs that are currently available.

Did this answer your question? Hope so....and good luck in finding just the right drug!

Best,
xan
