I was just prescribed Sumatriptans, but took and Excedrin Migraine 6 hrs ago. Is it safe to take the sumatriptans? The Excedrin Migraine did not work!
Thank you!

Does anybody have or get any type of speech problems when leading up to or during a Migraine?

I have had similar problems.. I try to take a deep breath and try to talk
Please please let me know some names of medications that you have had some success with. I have tried a couple with not much success. I have found that botox works but I am unable to have health benefits at this time. When I did have benefits it was covered and life was not as painful 😓.

Oh no,that’s one of my greatest fears,but hey,12 years that’s great! What are you taking now if you don’t mind me asking?
I have had a headache for 3 years/3 months every day, all day. Sometimes I have an aura, but it is not a classic migraine...no problems with light or loud noise, no vomiting. It is debilitating and doctors cannot figure it out.
I don't think they are psychological but medical and for me I found drinking more water has helped
I am allergic to so many meds and have suffered with migraines for 20 years,Excedrin migraine has helped but the last 5 times I have used it my stomach feels like it is being ripped apart, The pain is just as bad as the migraine but s you know trying to go without a migraine med is impossible and going to the hospital is not practical at this time,,, Any suggestions to help with the stomach pain caused by the excedrin? Stay safe and I hope everyone has a migraine free day!!!
I take excedrin also . I drink Sprite and have A few Ritz crackers to help with tummy issues
