Migraine Prevention
"Have had migraines for the past 20  years but they were usually around my time of the month.  Recently the migraines were daily and on a pain scale of 7 to 8 out of 10.  My GP prescribed Nortriptyline as a preventative treatment.  I&#039;ve been on it for almost a month.  After a week of 10mg before bed, the migraines lessened from multiple times per day to every other day and the pain scale dropped down to 1 from 7 - 8.  I&#039;m now 9 days migraine free.  No blurred vision but really bad dry mouth in the morning.  I&#039;m hoping the dry mouth will eventually subside.  Not overly concerned.  The treatment plan is to titrate off the medication after 6 to 12 months.  In the meantime, it&#039;s nice to be migraine free."
