[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 179059"] There was a period of time that many, many medications caused my migraines to worsen. If you reading the prescribing literature that comes with- medications, you will see that headache is a possible s/e for almost all of them. Eventually, I decided to let my neurologist make almost all the decisions on what medications I will take for all my medical needs, because it got too complicated when I would take something for one condition and then have my migraines get much worse. Of course, there are times that it can't be done or prevented, etc. but this is what I do most of the time. In addition, I have found it necessary to take a low dose of Axid, which is now available over the counter almost DAILY. It is not at all pharmacies, but I usually can get it at Walgreens and Walmart. Ironically, I have found that MANY of the over the counter acid reducers actually increase my h/a's or make me feel dizzy. I take this low dosage of Axid almost daily and it has stopped the nauseau (sp?) and dizziness with-o causing headache problems. It took several days on this stuff before I got improvement and then it was great. I also avoid fatty foods, etc... When will you see the doctor again? Have you the had the opportunity to see a neurologist recently? I do hope that you will get in to see someone soon and will feel better soon as well. [/QUOTE]
