I’m a sixteen year old girl and for the last three months I’ve had extremely painful migraine headaches. I’ve been to the doctor and he’s given me prescriptions for Midrin and for Ulrum. Neither of these worked for the pain, which is generally in the back of my head or like a halo on the top of my head. He also has given me a prescription for Darvacet, which worked great for the pain but put me to sleep and made me so loopy I couldn’t function. When I have my headaches I have extreme sensitivity to light and sound and sleeping seems to be the only way I have any relief. They are so bad that I can’t get myself out of bed and they are causing be to miss school. Do you have any advice for me, and is there a medicine that you have used that I can ask my doctor about.
