headache what can I take?

[Mandy124<3 0]

I was sleeved on 1/28 and before surgery Migraines was a common thing for me and was prescribed medicine for me. Just the last couple days I've had a headache. And advice on what I can take? I don't know if I can take my naproxen or not.

I have Migraines as well and on my discharge paper my doctor gave me he listed the medicine I take as okay to use. I use sumatriptan though, not sure if that would make a difference.

You are safe taking whatever the doctor gave you for post surgical pain. I am a Migraine sufferer who is also allergic to aspirin and all forms of NSAIDS. Limits me in pain treatment to Tylenol or opiates for really severe pain.

The pain medicine he gave me is something with codiene, and I am allergic to it, in regards to it upsets my stomach. So why he gave it to me after a gastric procedure I do not know, but I stopped taking it 2 days after coming home because I was nauseous the couple days I took it.

Sumatriptan makes me feel like crap. I've had luck with atarax for Migraines -- maybe you can ask about it at your next appointment.

In the meantime, all I can suggest is make sure you've had enough Water and head to bed early. Good luck <3

It makes me feel like crap too! lol if I can't go to sleep when I take it I don't take it because of how bad it makes me feel but I've never taken Migraine medicine before so I thought that was the norm. I'll be talking to my neurologist now haha

One of the side effects is muscle tightness, which always happens in my face for some reason -- my jaw gets tight, my head hurts worse...

The very first time I took sumatriptan, I thought something was wrong with my kidneys because I had that muscle tightness in my back. I don't know a single person that actually likes sumatriptan...

I've had two different atarax -- one was coated and it just magically made my migraine disappear. I was ecstatic. The other one wasn't coated and it knocked me out.

My doctor gave me a sample of a tablet that you let dissolve on your tongue, but I'm saving it for a desperate occasion (and idk why cuz if it works I could just get a prescription...)

[slimmingdani 57]

I wonder how bad the dissolving one tastes haha I'll ask my doctor about the coated one, it'll be nice to have one that doesn't make me feel gross when I take it for a change

I just looked up atarax because I remembered it isn't specifically formulated for Migraines.

The only Migraine symptom I can't handle is the nausea, and that's what atarax knocks out. So I don't know if it's the best recommendation anymore, but hey... Migraines suck so bad I would try just about anything!

Ugh, I had one today. Eight this month, but a couple of years ago I was having double that number per month. I was more than a little worried about the medication thing. I don't take Naproxin for headaches, but I have taken it for other aches and pains and cramps. Great stuff.....it is a no no, it was specifically listed in Dr. Davidson's list of meds we can't take.. It has whatever we aren't suppose to have in it. I take Maxalt or Imitrex. Imitrex (generic) pill is first then the Imitrex injection for the 2nd course of action if the first one didn't work. After than, I have fioricet w/cod - I might have to take this, my "rescue" medication, twice a year. Very seldom. Imitrex is my miracle drug.
