I am to the point that I am having to take Imetrex daily just to function. I have tried to go without it but the most I can go is three days before I have to finally give in and take it. I am concerned as to what it may be doing to my heart. I take the "Reddy" brand through CVS which does not seem to work as well as the name brand. Also, each time I take an Imetrex I have to chase it with two Tylenol or Advil.
Hi Kristyl

I finally saw a neurologist and am now on trazadone which is supposed to help with the depression/sleep and also work as a preventative. And he gave me ubrevely for an onset.

Loud music help my migraines
Do you find yourself yawning before or during a migraine? I noticed I seemed to be yawning a lot last night during my migraine and wondered if this was a coincedence or something to do with the migraine?
I yawn a day or two before my headaches.
I was diagnosed with Basilar Aura Migraines back in September of 2017. My Neurologist has tried many medications but they have done nothing. I've been on steroids to stop a week long Cycle. I'm in pain almost every day and nothing helps for long. I've tried NSAIDS, blood pressure prescription medication (I can't remember it's name) and something that wqs supposed to stop it by expanding blood vessels (Can't remember the name of that one, either! Bad memory, sorry!) Chamomile tea has helped me… read more
