I also get these but rather infrequently... thank God!
Unfortunately there is no med that acts quickly enough to relieve the pain once it starts. I've also tried all the preventative stuff with no results. At least no positive results; all I got were the side effects.
As this is only one of the several types of headaches I get, I've learned to live with them. If you can also do that I think you're better off than taking the preventative meds. I don't know anything about Neurotronin but it probably has equally strong side effects. Wish I could offer you some help or good information but all I can do is wish you the best of luck whatever choice you make.

Subject: HELP I NEED ADVICE FOR MY ICE PICK HEADACHES
hi all
I am new to the group and for many years i have been getting pains
on either
my left or right side of my head that feels like a knife or real
sharp pains
and like my head is going to explode. The pains do not last very
long at all
a few secs or so and then sometimes the pain comes back again and
again and
sometimes only once or so. So i went to a Nerologist and he did all
kinds of
test on me from MRIS to EEGs and all and found nothing he said i am
getting
Ice Pick headaches. So he tried me on many meds and many diff times
like
paxil zoloft, seroquel xanax klonpin wellbutrin etc. and none of
them helped
it just made me feel terrible. Then i went to another dr and he
tried
adderall then dexedrine and that did not help either. Then i went to
another
doc and he tried Depakote and that did not help either. Then i went
back to
him yesterday and he told me to try Neurontin. I have never taken
that
before have any of you i dont know much about the drug excpet for
what i
read about it on the net. I dont want it to make me sick at all.
Have any of
you tried Neurontin and has it helped u . And or what have u all
been on
that helped and has anyone of you had ice picked headaches and do
you know
what causes it
Please let me know
THanks
Linda
