Having problems with message search?
Antidepressants haven’t worked for
me. I’ve been on several different one. The latest was
cymbalta. But this gave me sleeping problems (I really don’t need
that!) and it also made my tongue and mouth hurt really bad! My dr. tried
me on ablify but that also gave me sleeping problems and a horrible feeling of
restlessness. I wanted to jump out of my skin! The cymbalta works
on the serotonin and noripinephrin (sp?) and the abilify works on the dopamine.
The combo did seem to help my headaches. I was headache free for a week
but I couldn’t take the side effects. Getting 2 hours sleep a night
just isn’t enough.
I had another MRI and MRA a few weeks ago
but I haven’t received the results yet. My mother had a ruptured aneurysm
in her brain a few years ago, so I guess they want to make sure that will not
happen with me.
Right now the only thing I’m taking
(that only helps a little) is a little cocktail that I made up. I take Midrin
(Duradrin) and Niravam (a benzo). I’m not thrilled about taking the
Midrin because of the acetaminophen in it. This combo just takes the edge
off the pain. I’m guess because it relaxes me.
I just completed physical therapy for my
neck but that didn’t seem to help much. I do have better posture
now.
Does anyone here have pain in other parts
of their body as well? I’ve read a couple books on fibromyalgia and
it seems to fit in with other symptoms that I have. I always thought that
I had joint pain and other aches and pains because I was hit by a car when I
was younger. But nothing was broken… so I don’t know.
So that’s an update on me..

[chronicdailyheadache] Re: New Medications
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that zoloft was
being used to
treat headaches. I've already tried the maxalt and did not respond to
it, but I'm glad that it helps you. Hopefully the meds I'm taking now
will improve my situation a bit. Take care and good to hear from you.
