migraine prevention
"Side effects in first 3 months included tingling feet, loss of sensation in hands, some minor hair loss, weight loss (11kg), appetite loss, loss of words (especially nouns), inability to taste carbonated drinks. Almost all of these disappeared after 3ish months. I am left with a somewhat reduced appetite, occasional pins & needles and I can't drink fizzy drinks. Weight loss was short lived.



Effect on migraines was instant and measurable - reduced severity/frequency. Not to zero, but to a more manageable level. I am left with regular headaches, which I now think are Medication Overuse Headaches which will pass as I reduce painkiller use. I still get menstrual migraines which can be tricky to shift, but with sumatriptan I can usually cope."
