[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 429644, member: 7083"] I'm already on a beta blocker (metoprolol, closely related to propranolol) for my heart. It has been a long time since I tried nortriptyline, so I may try it again - or try doxepin. For some reason that I can't remember they don't want me on calcium channel blockers. Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. I've tried so many stupid medications, I can't remember them all or what they were for. Neurontin made me intensely suicidal within 3 days on the lowest dose, so my doctor won't consider Lyrica - which is good cause I'm not in a hurry to go through that again. LOL Phenergan is supposed to help with headaches, but I don't know if it's prescribed as a preventative. I found that out by accident when I took it for nausea from a migraine and it calmed my head. Told the doctor about it and she said it's good for headaches. I have a script for it because I have so much nausea. I took it this evening for nausea and the migraine has become manageable. Sometimes it does that, and sometimes it does nothing. When it just absolutely won't go away - cause it would stay for weeks before I started Celebrex - I'll get a toradol shot, and then do 5 days of toradol pills (you can only do 5 days because it can really mess up your stomach), and that would knock it out. Imitrex is supposed to be non-drowsy, but it knocks me on my hiney - dead to the world for hours. If I was having a breakthrough every now and again, I could deal with it. But, I'm having them more often than not the past 3 or 4 weeks. Thanks for the tips. Now I'm prepared for when I see my GP. :) [/QUOTE]
