I'm being treated for chronic headaches/migraines.4yr history,only within last 6 months went back to neurologist to seek MD help again after MANY pro-active "natural" then OTC methods had failed.(4yrs ago several CT's/MRI's, then arterialgram ruled out a possible AVM or any other serious cause) Other than aboritive Relpax or Imitrex, was started on combo of Lyrica/Amitriptaline(?) Topamax ruled out due to "nerve" symptoms he said it wouldn't help. After couple rounds of increasing the mg's of both, was swithced off both due to Lyrica begg to cause weight gain/feeling "drugged" and the other not feeling effective @ all (pillow @ night still hurt head so much, sleeping sitting up alot). Then went to a combo of neurontin/Cymbalta. Month into an increase of mg's to 600mg neurontin 3x daily, 60mg Cymbalta my head now feels a little better (reduction of migraines, although "sore" no longer sleep sitting up @ night, still wearing sunglasses driving @ night/altering routines in the day due to constant light sensitivity). I'm very thankful for the progress, however small...Problem is the insomnia and feeling on "speed" from Cymbalta, even w/the neurontin in system. Neur. says no other comparable RX suggests reduction back to 30mg's if 60mg is bothersome. I'm scared to though fearing my head progress will decrease.I had already cut caffeine/sugar alsmost down to nothing, taking Magnesium/B-2, many "relaxing" things, natural/organic diet to help w/headaches anyway. What can I do now to commbat the 60mg side effects? I've looked into Melatonin, 5-HTP, and actually purchased a bottle of L-Tryptophan but havn't taken it yet due to not knowing if safe w/Cymbalta yet. Can you help me decide what to do? Can't see neur. again for awhile and can't get even his nurse right now-
