Bob we’ve heard it. We either believe you or don’t. Stop peddling yourself on this site please.
I took low-dose Neurontin (100 mg) at night for about 20 years for nerve pain not related to migraine. I had infrequent migraines before and during those years with neurontin
I stopped taking the Neurontin about three years ago
About a year after stopping the Neurontin, my migraines went from my having 1-4 short episodes a YEAR to having 5 to 15 of migraine days a MONTH. It’s now been 2-3 years of severe chronic migraines.
I read an article about Neurontin recently as a preventative for… read more
Hi
I do use Nurtec if I feel a migraine coming on and it works sometimes
I use Zomig when the pain hits.
The problem is my increased frequency of various migraine symptoms with and without pain.

My dr is making me take my blood pressure several time a day. Some days it fine. Others it has bottom out. Not sure what the next course will be. 🙁

It's interesting you say that, because my VM's really kicked in after my Dad passes and we had been taking care of him for 10 years. It was very stressful and emotionally draining, not only on me but… read more
Has anyone had this happen to them
I woke up with migraine. Got up and took migraine meds. 10 minutes later while laying down with eyes shut I saw 3 bright full blue moons that grew in rapid sec section, one after another
I looked at alarm clock and I could only read the top half of numbers. Got up, turned light on and bottom of vision in one eye was gone! Looked like jagged sheets of ice.
Went to ER IMMEDIATELY. In the time it took to get there the blockage moved to botton left quadrant of… read more

Howdy again, Migraine Warriors. I'm dealing with a symptom that seems to have dual causes & I'm curious who else struggles with it & how they deal with it, especially ways to reverse the effects. Memory loss. Like, severe dementia-style memory loss. Scary, will-i-wake-up-tomorrow-&-not-know-who-i-am scary. My causes seem to be migraine compounded by years of gabapentin (neurontin) use. I've gotten several responses from my PCP about it from 'your only option is to quit the gabapentin & hope for… read more
my doctor started me on memantine, which it what they prescribe for people with dementia. Too soon to see if it helps
Has anyone tried the green color therapy glasses or the rose tinted color for migraines? Which color do you think is better for migraines? A neurologist online recommended the green color therapy glasses for migraines.
I'm looking for something least expensive that works.
The rose tinted glasses are gnerally speaking for indoor use only where there are a lot of florescent lighting. I have a pair of MIGRALENS and they filter out both the blue and the red spectrum, and… read more
It first started with my vision when I was driving home from work in mid January 2023. And then early February I woke up one day with excruciating headache and eye pain blurry vision nausea dizziness and stabbing ear pain and ringing in my ears. And it’s been going on ever since. I went to see a neurologist and she diagnosed me with vertigo anxiety and migraine. She prescribed venlafaxine, which I didn’t take. I went to see another neurologist and he said that I have tension headache, anxiety… read more
