Migraine / Tension Headache Overview

Migraine (UK: , US: ) is a genetically-influenced complex neurological disorder characterized by episodes of moderate-to-severe headache, most often unilateral and generally associated with nausea and light and sound sensitivity.

Imitrex and pain around surgical site

I got a migraine a week after my shoulder replacement surgery and took a shot of Imitrex. It felt like the medication went into my arm, it was a bizarre feeling. It created pain in my entire upper arm. I’ve had three migraines and used my shots (in my thigh) all three times and had the same experience, like intensely painful to the surgical site and below it. I’ve looked online and can’t find anything about it. I’m just curious if I’m the only one that’s ever experienced this?

I have safely taken my pain medications for 10 years without ever having a problem, my MD will no longer prescibe, it is unfair to the patient

I have been on Fiorinal w Codeine and Fioricet as well as Valium for Sleep. I have 3 herniated disks in my back, Scloroisis, Nerve Damage in my left leg and Chronic Migraines. No Doctors in Rhode Island will any longer prescribe medication, if they do it is only one medication, I used to get all 3 of my medications for these problems from one Doctor who was my primary until he informed me that he could no longer write those. If anyone know's anyone in Rhode Island Please Help! ## Hello Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if this is just in Rhode Island, becuase I am close to the border of Massachusett's. Perhaps I might be able to find a good Family Physician there? My regular Md, just told me to go to see a pain Specialist and that they have alternative ways of managing p...

L374 Pill

The L374 oblong white pill is generic Excedrin Migraine. I don't understand why everyone has problems looking up drugs. (And by the way, take it from an addict - you shouldn't use, hydrocodone, or any opiates or drugs at all as these can easily cause your heart to stop. Get sober and be somebody that gives back to the world). ## @RockieAnn, Thanks for taking the time to share that pill information. And just to confirm for anyone else who might be reading, this pill is in fact a generic Excedrin, containing: Acetaminophen 250 mg + Aspirin 250 mg + Caffeine mg (NDC 0113-0374). NOT Hydrocodone. I realize with a lot of people posting for help on identifying something, they don't always know what to type in a search field and may be thinking that it's just easier for someone ...

Mikart generic fioricet

Does Mikart make a generic Fioricet? I know they stopped making it for awhile, but they definitely worked the best for me. Hopefully, they will again!! ## Yes I was getting that same generic for Fioricet and had the MIA on one side and 110 on the other I believe those worked very well it seems like every time something works well they take it away ## Is Mikart still making the generic Fioricet 110? My pharmacy says it can no longer get it. ## Hi Dee, yes they do. It's a white oblong pill that says MIA on one side and 110 on the other side. That pill worked the best for me as far as any generic for Fioricet; and the Mikart brand is so difficult to get. They actually sold it to another company. If you need further details I can give you the company’s name and they will find a lo...

Nurtec ODT - Worked well for abdominal migraines

I get abdominal migraines, basically it’s a migraine in your stomach instead of your head and it’s absolutely horrible. It’s like a stabbing pain with nausea and vomiting, and also diarrhea. Should I try to put anything in my stomach it’s immediately rejected however my body can figure out how to do that and they last between one and three days. This medication aborted an episode, it took about four hours instead of the one hour it claims, but it actually worked. I could tell I was still in pain because I was kind of hunched over when I would walk and I would catch myself doing the stomach pain type of breathing, if you’ve had that kind of pain you know what I’m talking about. But I was detached, it was like I was observing pain but not feeling it. I ...

How soon can I take Klonopin after Fioricet?

Is it safe if I took fioricet about 4 hours ago and then take klonopin? ## Has your doctor prescribed them both? The problem with taking them together is due to the Butalbital in the Fioricet and the Clonazepam in the Klonopin, some barbiturates can reduce the efficacy of Benzodiazepines, so the Klonopin may not be as effective for you, as it was, at its regular dosage. However, conversely, the Benzodiazepines can increase the amount of the Barbiturate that your body absorbs and, in some cases, where people where taking high doses of both, it has resulted in an overdose. ## Yes, the dr prescribed both. I took a klonopin two hours ago as of writing this. Now I have headache and need to know if I can take a fioricet? ## How long do I have to wait to take tramadol or nyquil after taking fi...

Depakote, Kepra, & Topamax

What are the side effects of a combination of all three medicines for a seizure disorder? Have been on the Depakote and Topamax for years with the Kepra only recently added for partial seizures. I noticed that my hair is now thinning dramatically and I'm now suffering from insomnia! I'm thinking it may have something to do with the addition of the Kepra. Am I correct? Is there a solution for this problem? Has anyone else ever come across this problem or complaint? I will, of course, consult my neurologist before doing anything. Just wanted to know what you thoughts. ## The basic side effect profile remains the same, and the FDA lists it as including things like nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, mood changes, weight changes, and the hair loss that you mentioned, however, t...

Emgality Reviews

Has anyone tried this medication called Emgality? ## It’s really weird that since 2019 nobody has come to this website to post anything about Emgality? I have a hard time believing that considering all the bad reviews out there. Is the Emgality manufacturer paying to keep these terrible side effects off this site? This is really upsetting as I’ve used and trusted this website for five years at least, it’s bad enough they’re paying the neurologist to tell people there are zero side effects FYI, if a medical professional tells you there are zero side effects you need to run from whatever medication they are trying to give you because that’s the biggest lie ever.

Need to know side effects of Fiorinal

I think I am having some rare side effects from Fiorinal BUT/ASA/CAFF, it seems to slightly ease my tension headaches but for some reason, everytime I take just one, I get severe pain in my spine. Has anyone had this happen to them or heard of such a thing? ## Danielle, I live in Ft Worth, Tx. My brother-in-law just started taking fiorinal along with other meds such as nexium.
