I currently take 75 mg of topiramate (Topamax) to prevent migraines, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I’m still getting several headaches per week. I was also prescribed a blood pressure medication for a while, but it didn’t work, and my pulse was so low that I couldn’t stand up without bracing myself against [...]

I get migraines from time to time. Usually I can take either ONE Zomig or ONE Fioricet and lay down and they will pass pretty quickly. As of now, Saturday afternoon, I have had a migraine since Wednesday afternoon and taken multiple of both of my migraine meds and nothing is helping. The headache is [...]

If I drink too much coffee it can set off a migraine. But then drinking another cup of coffee seems to cure it. Can somebody wise explain this to me please. Chosen Answer: In normal doses, stimulants like caffeine can trigger or exacerbate migraines by raising blood pressure and heightening sensitivity. However, higher intake can [...]

I’m going see a neurologist this Wednesday for my headaches, but they’re so bad. I’ve been taking Fioricet for these headaches that NEVER go away for the last 4 days (the pain pills, not the headache. I’ve had the headache since early January.) I take at most 3 doses a day, no more. I find [...]

I’m getting a spinal tap done tomorrow morning and an MRI Friday. Having the constant pressure and stabbing pains in my eyes makes me want to [...]
