Hey guys! Op, here. I didn't think this would get published! Thanks for all your comments. They made me feel better and definitely made me laugh! Just to follow up a bit, I'm no longer taking that medication and I have a neurologist appointment soon to see if they can help me with the pain! Thanks again!

"Side effect may include headaches"
Was it topamax by any chance? A few months ago, I started getting migraines daily, that never went away when I went to bed. My neurologist prescribed Topamax to "keep them at bay".. I had to make an emergency trip out of town, and forgot to bring my migraine medications (taking 16 pills a day) After a few days without the Topamax, I stopped waking up with migraines. Crazy. Hope you feel better!
Cannabis may help or not idk I ain't no doctor but it sure helps me chill out ^.^
I'm sorry I have the same thing. Nothing works on mine so I just ignore them and hope they don't get too bad

What medication was it? I suffer from migraines so bad ER trips are required most times. I just want to be sure I'm never put on the medication you were taking. My headaches are bad enough on their own.
51, don't just go off of someone else's experiences. It's good to know how others react to look out for, but that doesn't mean you will react the same.
#52, I understand that. I was put on Zyrtec for my allergies once, and while it works great for most people it made my symptoms worse. I'm also curious to see if I've already tried the medication OP was given.
It took me 4 yrs, 3 neurologists, and 15 different meds attempts to find one that works reasonably well on my migraines and with tolerable side effects. (Thank you Obamacare -- couldn't have afforded it without you.) Please, everyone who is suffering, keep trying -- you'll find something that works for you.
Are you allergic to caffeine by chance? My mom had the same problem years ago and it turns out there is caffiene in nearly every headache medicine. They figured out she was allergic to caffiene so she had to avoid those medicines and any foods or drinks with it.
I know exactly how you feel. I've suffered from migraines for 8 years and just got put on medicine for it. Hoping it will help. But also found out there's a bunch of foods,msg,etc that can cause them too. just thought I would share in case it might help.
