Migraine Prevention
"I suffered with Migraines since I was about 12. I am now 36. My migraine attacks went from moderate to severe after the birth of my daughter. I would get attacks which would last for 10 days and would mimic symptoms of a stroke. I tried Sandomigran which I gained 8 kg in 3 weeks. Topamax was far worse which felt like my whole body was burning. I&#039;m now on a combination of Zoloft 100 mg and Elavil starting at 10 mg. Generally you&#039;re not supposed to mix the 2 because it can cause &quot;serotonin syndrome&quot; which can be life threatening. However my neurologist and psychiatrist are keeping a close eye on me. So far Elavil has had the least side effects. I started on 10 mg and will double dose in 2 weeks. I did notice less neck and head pain."
