Migraine Prevention
"I have had hormonal migraines sine I was 17.  I would have horrible migraines through my menstrual cycle each month.   I developed high blood pressure &amp; my doctor prescribed Linsinopril &amp; when that didn&#039;t lower it enough he added Amlodipine.   I took it for about 9 months and never had a migraine which was wonderful.   BUT, I developed waves of severe fatigue and was feeling crappy all over much of the time.  I developed swelling in my feet &amp; ankles &amp; my diastolic blood pressure was almost 100 all the time.  I researched the medicines I&#039;ve been taking &amp; decided to monitor my blood pressure &amp; stop the Amlodipine.  I instantly felt better &amp; my blood pressure actually went down.  Don&#039;t know if migraine will return.  Not worth the side effects!"
