migraine
"I have been a migraine sufferer for almost 17 years. I went on and then off birth control as a means of trying to reduce the number of migraines I would get. Often 3-4 times a month. I was given Amerge which was effective. I then switched to Imitrex. An accident last summer caused me great nerve pain and in the fall I was put on Gabapentin for this nerve pain in my arm from my elbow dislocation. Throughout the fall and winter I had a few headaches, nothing that popping a few Excedrins wouldn't take away. Three weeks ago, I stopped taking Gabapentin to try to reduce the drugs I'm taking. Big mistake. For the past week, I have had blinding migraines unresponsive to Excedrin and Imitrex. I will be going back on Gabapentin."
