What was typically the frequency with which you got migraine headaches? If you are using or used Atacand, how long have you used it? Was it successful? At what dose did you get a good preventative effect? What side effects did it cause for you? What if you had low blood pressure to start with?
Y es, it is a blood pressure medication. If anyone has used it for blood pressure, please also let me know at what dose, for how long, and if you suffered any side effects? And, yes, it’s now being prescribed for migraine prevention.
Chers, is your med helping you? what abouot side effects? i have tried all the other ones you’ve listed. i could not tolerate their side effects? i have also been a sufferer forever. could you check out the details in my question please?

Trying to switch to natural remedies and I’m just curious what an herb doctor would normally prescribe

What causes a migraine headache? I always thought it was caused by stress…and find it pretty hard to believe kids under 9 have stress in their lives UNLESS they are abused, or live in an abusive home (i.e., seeing someone else abused).

I have been suffering with migraine headaches that have gotten to the point where I am getting them more than not during a month. I have taken various prescription medications that have not worked for me. I’m just looking for something herbal as opposed to narcotic like what my doctors want me to take. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

it seems migraines started after pregnancy, or atleast the headaches seem to have to symptoms of a migraine headaches and I don’t remember if they ever happened before and if they did not as bad…

Topomax was wonderful but after 2 months I developed a horrible dry cough that seems to be a side effect. I read somewhere that Wellbutrin has worked well as a prophylactic. Any links or info to help confirm this for me? Thanks everyone.
