[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 130182, member: 1233"] Shari, Can I speak to the aggressiveness on these "blood pressure medications"? This is ONLY for info, but is from my firsthand experience. As many of you know, often the first line of defense in preventing migraines is the use of beta blockers, also blood pressure medications. When I first started trying preventative medications for the migraines, oneof the side effects was that I lost what little patience I had. I was SOOOO exhausted ALL the time. It made me feel like I was walking through partially set cement. I also felt like I just could not think and NO ONE would slow down enough to let me form, or express, a complete thought. It was NOT a good experience, but with time and effort we found a beta blocker (type of blood pressure medication) and dose (much lower than usually prescribed at first) that kept this cement effect to a very minimal level. Over time we had to increase the dose to the max, but our effective starting point was about 1/16 of where they usually start people. I am sure this is not why every person who becomes mean on these medications does so. I hope that it gives you somthing to talk about with your difficult child, in the effect this occurs. All in all, follow your mommy instincts, they ROCK!! Good luck, Susie [/QUOTE]
