Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 I just wanted to pipe up with my own migraine experience-- I have never had them, am 50, and started getting them when I started PTU. ( I am currently on 50mg. 3x daily). I am happy with the PTU and hope to wean down eventually ( it has been about 15 months) but until then about once a month or so I get a killer migraine which renders me useless and extremely in pain. My GP and I tried the newer drugs like Amerge, and the one in that classification that works best for me is called Zomig. If I take one, within a half an hour I feel human again, and these are hideous headaches. Zomig doesn't work for everyone, but interestingly, the woman pharmacist who filled my prescription said they seem to work the best, esp. for women. So you may want to try it. There is no narcotic-like effect and no drowsiness. Good luck! FWIW, I won't be doing HRT either, though I respect all choices! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
