Question about migraines & meds

[Guest guest]

.............i just got back from my neuro appt. and she said that i am

experiencing Complicated Migraines. she wants to add Verapamil to my

list of meds.

i wanted to find out if any of you are taking or have taken this med and

if anyone had a bad experience with it? i am a little concerned about

my blood pressure,

it is low already and this med can lower your blood

pressure.............be good to yourselves.......janice

My youngest son (now 31) had severe, severe migraines for most of his

life. He was on multiple meds. He went some time without any migraines

and when they started again, he was put on Verapamil. He has very low

blood pressure and the only thing he says is that when he stands up he

has to stand still a bit longer before walking. It really isn't even

noticeable.

My son took propananol for a while. It does lower

blood pressure because these meds are bp meds. If you

have orthostatic hypotension you can have big problems

passing out.

Are you on the cocktail? Have you tried riboflavin?

My son had daily migraine for seven years and the

cocktail with 200 mg riboflavin 3X/day works like

nothing else ever did. That, a whole lot of neurontin

(1200 3X/day), and lamictal 200 mg 2X/day.

Mom to the two best kids in the world!
