Thanks for replying. He started me 25mg daily. I think I’m going to ask him if
there is lower dosage available to try and see if it still is enough to help with the chronic migraines, with less of these side effects.

I have tried all the other medications you listed, plus alot more, and the problem is that it they either didn’t help at all, worked, but acted as a extreme stimulant, or didn’t work at all and still acted like a stimulant. This led to some really crappy months, since we started on the injections and the crap stayed in me for weeks.

Suffice it say, I will never try and new med in the injectable (month long) form. EVER.

The “migraines” or whatever is happening, (they usually only manifest when I’m looking at screens) is a daily occurrence. It’s bad. So he’s currently doing nerve blocks, where he shoots me in like 10 different locations on my shoulders, neck, head, and face every two weeks. Plus the new noratryptlaline, PLUS I’m always wearing a Scolpamine patch because for some reason, those really seems to help.

Because those really seem to help, is why he wanted to see how the Noratryptaline(I know I’m spelling it wrong) would do. He said “that makes me wonder if it’s more of an epileptic issue than just migraine.

So my plan is to see if I can get the Nora to a place where it works, but more tolerable side effects. And then slowly stop the nerve blocks first, and the the Scoplamine patches last or in reverse, to see if any aren’t needed, or if it does need to be a combination of all three.

It’s just the side effects that suck. Like the Nora isn’t acting as a stimulant like all the others, but I think it is making me feel pretty crappy, along with dry mouth and bad taste things.
