bipolar medication list
Migraine treatment suggestions?
I have a rather difficult time finding medications to treat my migraines. Unfortunately, I also have bipolar and this means I cannot take medications such as Relpax, Immitrex, and Maxalt, as they interfere with the seratonin level in my brain and cause mania. Same goes for anti-depressants. Unfortunately, I also have low blood pressure, so it can’t be anything that will lower my blood pressure. I’ve been taking Fiorocet as an abortive (works sometimes,) and I was recently discontinued from Topamax due to psychological side effects. I’d ideally like a medication that can be used to treat both bipolar and migraines as I believe mine are related. I cannot take Lamictal or any other medication that lists memory loss (or something similar) as a side effect. I am very susceptable to that. Please offfer suggestions that I can talk with my psychiatrist and neurologist about, so that I have some idea what is available. I need a daily preventative AND an abortive. THANK YOU!!!
seratonin just so happens to be the only way we have of treating migraines besides simply using crude painkillers…such as the barbituate/caffiene/tylenol combo your taking now.
caffiene MAY help some by itself… but not as an everyday thing since youll build a tolerance.
