Re: Lana-Re: Asking for suggestions regarding headaches

March 5, 2004

Hi ,

Does Zomig also come in the melt on your tongue pill? I have had

Zomig too, but those were ordinary pills, while Maxalt has been one

that melts on your tongue (packed in 4 different layers, I think,

including a plastic box)... I unfortunately have such bad side

effects from all those meds... But they have gotten better... The

Imitrex pills were the worst, it was awful, I have never been so

sick... I just got a new type, can' t remember what it was called,

but haven't dared try them yet, I really dread those side effects I

get (like a truck is on my chest, chest pain radiating up my neck and

down my arm, muscle pain etc.)... I think I remember Jill saying

something once about these meds not being all that good for you if

you have mitral valve prolapse too... I am not sure... It was much

better when I was a teenager and the migraine meds they used then

worked. I had problems getting to take them quickly enough though, my

migraines came on so quickly and when the headache started it was too

late for those meds...
