Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Hi Robyn, I have had the severe headaches from lyme. I take 25mg. of elavil at bedtime, which has helped reduce the headaches along with treatment for the lyme. And when I do get one I have found Fiurinal with codein #3 gets rid of them ( excuse my spelling). I had previously tried a lot of other migraine meds, which did not work for me. Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope that he is ok now. Take care, Kim S. --- LymeDizzy@... wrote: > Hi Everyone, > Looking for a lil information here if > possible.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 Robyn,...severe headache was my first real problem with lyme........I get them so bad that I can't do anything but vomit and cry......can't walk talk ect.......I found that emitrex did nothing for me......I have endocet and morphine at home along with a nausea pill........if that doesn't work I end up in the ER and have found that morphine and droproperidol work the fastest.......those headaches are like nothing else.....I feel for your friend........good luck Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I took Lexapro only once and ended up with a full blown migraine. I will never take it again.

Trying to determine if it's from Lex, xanax or Tricor i take for cholestrol... I only take 0.5 (half pill of Lex and as little xanax as possible. Also wondering if the Aspetame in Diet Coke can be to blame, but i dunt know. I went off Lex last year from tiredness and headahes. They may be anxiety-related however... I feel beat up aftrewards from them. Best, Faiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
