Constant Migraines and Ignored by Doctor

Samanthaelise

the past few day when I've taken my preventative medicine it's given me a migraine the next morning. I've told my doctor about this because it's been happening frequently and he's just told me to up my dosage. I fail to see how that's going to work. I'm so tired of waking up with migraines and not being listened to. less then a month until I see a new doctor. I hope this one listens.

      Just remember too, not ALL doctors are the same, hopefully you find someone who listens to you. I second the cannibis thing too, I know it helps tons of people

      I knooooow this is probably already something you've considered but I have to say a liiiight dose of cannabis (I know some blends of THC free CBD have the same properties but I don't know which) are anti-emetic and do wonders to calm the nausea, which is usually all I need to get an Excedrin to kick the headache. I also take propranolol for prevention and it seems to work well, in case you are looking for alternatives to talk to your new doctor about. I wish you luck!

        @kitastrophe76 I have thought about it. I can get a medicinal card here in Iowa. I thought about cbd oils too. I just want the pain to stop.

      Yes I've tried the higher dose and it does the same thing. It also counter acts my birth control at the higher dose and I'm not want any more kids at the moment. The pharmacist warned me about it when I picked it up as well.

        @Samanthaelise oh you must be taking Topamax… ugh I’m sorry that sucks! That’s what I take and it has really helped me taking it once morning and night. I hope your new doctor can give you some relief!!

      And also did you try upping the dose yet at all? Because meds are super weird and doctors *usually know what they’re talking about. I incompletely understand not being listened to by your doctor I have had to switch doctors for that before! But just try and trust them and see what happens before you write off everything they say because you never know

      How long have you been taking this medicine? Is it a daily? Just asking to make sure you know that it’s definitely the meds that are causing your migraines? There are like a billion and one triggers which is super obnoxious

        @AlyssaNicole89 Ive been taking this medicine for years I've lost count on how many years to be honest. I also take a depression medicine that I've been on for years as well.

          @Samanthaelise so honestly it would be strange for that medicine to all of a sudden start negatively affecting you like that. It sounds like you have some sort of outside stressor whether it be stress, different sleep pattern, weather, your period, different food or water intake…. Soooo many different things! I would definitely try upping the meds like your doc said and see if that helps! That’s what I do during the times I have higher stress
