I feel i need to give a little more detail about my medication change, i was on beta blockers for around two years and they did help for a while but recently they seemed to be not so effective, so i finally decided to go back to the doctors and find out where to go now. I maybe didn't go a soon as i should have, lets be honest i should have gone a while a go!! Being frank i was scared to get back on the medication merry-go-round, its been YEARS since i last was and its not a happy thought that i have to go back there.
Any how i finally got myself sorted and i am now on Pixotifen as a preventative medication, gradually increasing the dose each week from one a night up to my final three a night. The first two days were a nightmare feeling sick waking up with a headache!!!! the one thing i am trying to get rid of, and just generally not myself, the third day got better and the rest of the week i was back to my old self. Yippee!!!!!
Tonight i increase the dose to two a night and am braced to have a couple of days where i am not too good but hopeful that they will work in the end and i don't have to change again, keeping everything crossed.
Here's to a mostly migraine free future!!!!
Best of luck, it's never fun when the medication that's supposed to make you feel better makes you feel worse for a while.
