ELETRIPTAN HYDROBROMIDE vs SUMATRIPTAN

Hey folks, Six weeks ago, I underwent "migraine surgery," by Dr. Day at the Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery. It was the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me, and I wanted to share my experience in case there are others like me out there. **My headaches** I'm 39M, and I've had a constant hea

I (22f) went to the mayo clinic today in scottsdale to see a headache specialist neurologist and it was the WORST experience ever. For context, I’ve had average 22 migraines a month for the past 3 years. When they started in 2019, I would get average like 3 a month. They are debilitating, I’m on Qul

Fellow Migraineurs: I have chronic migraines. If I wasn't on emgality, I would have migraines every day. I have a migraine specialist neurologist, I'm a 30 year old woman and I have had my mri's done, as well as a CT scan. I realize that I have never actually met anyone else in my whole life who has

I see a lot of folks complaining about side effects here and want to share what I've learned. This is a long info-dump; feel free to skip around for parts that are most relevant to you, but DO NOT skip the following disclaimer: **Disclaimer**: I am not a doctor or medical practitioner.

I’ve had chronic migraine for 6 months, been treating it with meds and lifestyle changes for 3 months. When I start to feel my headache progress, I’ll take a triptan (rizatriptan, eletriptan, or ubrelvy) but it’s so hard to say confidently if it does anything. Whether or not my migraine gets worse,

Like many of you, I suffer from migraines on a regular basis. First it was once a month, then twice a month. This year it was 2-3 times a week and seriously affected my ability to work and spend time with my kids/family. It landed me in the ER twice due to severe vomiting and dehydration. (the ER it

I have chronic migraines along with my epilepsy. I was having around 20 migraines a month but on Emgality they've gone down a lot and the severity is so much more manageable. For the last 4ish years, if I had a horrible migraine attack I'd take my Sumatriptan with some benedryl and it'd usually kil

Hello Im new to the whole epilepsy thing (kinda).(SORRY IF THIS IS LONG) I had seizures from 10wks -2 y/o. Then didnt have another seizure til college (19), was told it could be a fluke, sleep dep. and stress. I went on medication for 2 years and was taken off of it fine for 6 more years. I was comp

I get migraines/headaches. I have 2 kinda similar genres of headache. One is pretty much the same as pre-epilepsy. It's got a distinct stabbing sensation in the side of my head, I can usually stop it or dull it with over-the-counter analgesics (particularly Advil 2). The other one started appearing

i think i'm epileptic. since january, i've been suffering with migraines and i've been to the doctor who prescribed me sumatriptan, which did absolutely nothing. for years, i've been having seizure-like symptoms and my migraines have auras. is this worth checking out? i honestly feel like something

Hi all, I'm 26F and had my first seizure a week ago. I'm wondering if it could be due to serotonin toxicity. I was taking 40 mg Prozac, 300 mg Wellbutrin, 50 mg Sumatriptan (as needed, up to 4/day 2 hours apart), and 8 mg Ondansetron (as needed, up to 2/day). All of these drugs increase serotonin, a

My sis has recently gotten a prescription for sumatriptan for migraines because her last seizure was preceded by a headache. We aren't sure if the headache caused the seizure or if she had a seizure already the night before (no one was around or witnessed how she slept that night). Anyways i just w

When I have seizures I often get severe headaches. I often have to take sumatriptan to get them under control. But now I'm getting headaches every day about the same time the second med dose is due. I take epilepsy meds twice a day. I sometimes go through periods where I get auras just as the meds
