[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 259523"] Personally, I take a very small amount of [B]Topamax and Elavil[/B]. I ikeep the dosages as small as possible. I also take my vitamins and keep my attitude as positive as possible. So many people have been helped significantly by this combination. My blood pressure is/was slightly high, and I take Atacand for that. There is a chance that this medication helps with headaches. I also take[B] CoQ10, magnesium/calcium, Fish Oil and a B50 tablet.[/B] (They say B2 helps with- headaches and the B6 helps with depression and anxiety). SOMETIMES I take [B]Butterbur.[/B] I will take this as opposed to increasing any of the medications. I take a tiny amount of [B]Melatonin [/B]for sleep and/or Tryptophan for sleep. There are studies that show many of these supplements are helpful. IF I get a bad headache or migraine, I take 50 mgs. of [B]Imitrex (which is not a lot) and additional Naproxen[/B] . Can she take Imitrex or Naproxen? The combination is wonderful. There's actually a new tablet called [B]Treximet (sp?)[/B] that is both of them together...many people SWEAR by it. This is what you take after a bad headache or migraine. HONESTLY, the medications she is taking now to stop her headaches should [B][U]NOT[/U][/B] be taken regularly. They can lead to [B][U]REBOUND headaches. I go to a nationwide headache/migraine specialist and have written on the subject (in the past). The combo I'm taking is considered the safest.
