carlie Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm right in there with jstacy, for me Torodol is WONDERFUL for my headaches and also muscle spasms in my neck. Suggested injection amount is 40mg or 40 something, my primary (or if necessary) ER docs hit me with 60 and in about 10 minutes I am good. One time I cracked 2 ribs went to the ER, got the Torodol injection - 5-10 minutes later I was ready to do jumping jacks. They sometimes offer Demerol but I don't like the side effects and drunk feeling I get from Demerol. Different chemicals work good for different people. carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbrand29 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 My Doc put me on Propranolol. I take one daily. and I also take Zomig. It take my migraines away just like that. Since being on these meds I have went from 3 to 4 migraines a week too just 1 to 2 migraines a week. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetowinarace Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 IMO, treating migraine with pain meds alone is the hard way to go. There are preventitive methods for many people. Usually neurologists are better with migraines. I take Topamax, and it has reduced my migraines both in frequency and severety. It's trial and error with different meds. I tried others that didn't work. When my pain is bad NO pain med will help, I hope for a bullet. So preventative is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimlane1949 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 ice helps, i take something called midrin (sp?) and that helps. a shot at the er of immitrix also works for me. let us know what the doc says, he can't let him lie there and suffer that way there has to be a better solution B) My wife has migaine headaches and has taken Zomig for them which has worked great for her. She tried Imitrex but it didn't work for her. She is on ChampVA and gets the Zomig with no hassles. Jim Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
