A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am on sumatriptan nasal spray and if I use it right away it definitely takes the edge off but I can only use it twice a week. I’m looking for something that works the other several days that week. Mine start with pains bring me to my knees but I don’t want any prescription pain pills . has anyone found anything else that I could ask my doctor for?

I had migraines from my brain making to much cerebal fluid and had to have a vp shunt put in. Before that it was recommended that i take Tylenol extra strength but i wqs also perscrided gabapetin which helps but you have to get it in your systems first. To do that you need to be home with someone there cause it had me going places a day early and jittery. But after that first time i was fine taking it.

I started suffering with perpetual migraines in 2018, but the doctors don't think that they are epilepsy related. They haven't completely ruled it out yet. I am waiting for the results of an MRI Scan. The headache specialist has prescribed me with different doses of Propranolol. My seizures are causing havoc at the mo. I've tried to contact my consultant, but in vain. 😠 😥

I have migraines as well. I have had them and other headaches almost every day this week. I'm not on any pain meds for them, but my Dr. tried to put me on something called Amitriptyline. I couldn't take it because one of the many side effects is seizures.... 😑 Anyways we are trying Botox injections. I go in next week for my second round. It seemed to help for a couple of weeks. My Dr. said it helps more and more each time. We will see though..as long as I can afford it anyway. Sending prayers to you. I know how much they suck.
