For Migrains

I just started taking amitriptyline 7 months ago for migrains. It started to help in the begging but now 7 months later it isnt doing much. i am on 20mg daily. Is anyone else taking this medican for migrains and if so let me know what you think about it. ## It seems like you need to increase dosage. I read that it's possible to take 150mg daily.(says it on the box). But you might not need that much. P.S, I'm Not a Dr. ## Amitriptyline is a generic for Elavil, this is an antidepressant,which has also shown to be useful for some other conditions, such as migraines.

I am 37 yr old female, and have been having severe headaches since I was about 22-23yrs old. The drs have tried sevral different medications, and while some seem to work for a bit, and others not at all. I am tired of having these bad migrains as it interupts my daily activities. I have had a migraine that lasted just about 3 days, couldnt figure out what was wrong and why am I getting them so much. I finally saw a dr that i was very comfortable with, and she first tried me on firocet, had the generic version, and was ok at first but started to get worse. I was told to take those1 every four (4) hours as needed. sadly it came to the point where I needed to take every four hours. So I called my dr back, and she is trying me on this medication, 25mg twice a day for one week and then up it...

prevention of migrains ## Can cyproheptad cause depression or irritability? ## I have only taken Cyproheptad 4mg tablets for 3 days for sinuses, and already, all I want to do is sleep. And ,it seems that all my muscles hurt. So, am taking myself off this medecine and if doctor can't give me anything else, I will just suffer. ## Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine, used to treat several conditions, such as allergic reactions, nightmares, seratonin syndrome and prevention of migraines.

I have a pill also described as a pill for migraine but I do not know what it is other than that and I want to know more. On one side it has an M on top and 512 on bottom with no score separating the two, on the other side it has nothing and no score on that side either. All I read about that is close has scoring on one side, this has no scoring at all and the inscription just as told above. Does any one with migrains know what this is??? Thank you so much for your time! ## There are two white tablets with similar imprints but are two different drugs. One is a round pill with M over S12 (could look like 512). That is Sumatriptan 100 mg used for treating migraines (NDC 0378-5632). From DailyMed: Inactive Ingredients: - Silicon Dioxide - Croscarmellose Sodium - Hypromelloses - Lactose M...

About 6 months ago I sadly went to walmarts 60 mg inderal tablets to save as I am struggeling instead of my regular inderal 60 mg capsule LA that I have been taking most my life, but the past few months the optical migrains were happening every few days instead of say once a month or so. I went back to the capsules Oct. 17th almost 2 weeks ago and I am still getting the optical ones every few days. Yes there is a lot of stress in my life but there always has been. I even quit smoking its almost a year. I eat right some times not enough I am 5 7 about 130 and I exercise. My eyes were checked and found to be good. Why is this happening? Is it normal for the capsule to take more time to get back in m...
