My Dr. recently left my insurance network and I'm having a hard time trying finding a new one. I have being to two and they want to which the meds that I'm currently on, which actually works. One of the Dr.'s I tried telling him the meds he was talking about putting me on I have tried and they didn't work for me, he was telling me they work for he other migraine patient but I told everybody is different and they don't work for me. This was the preventive meds he wants to change which I'm currently on Topamax and he want to put me on Inderal why I don't know but I have tried it and done nothing.
The next Dr. wants to change pain meds from Relpax to Imitrex, which I told him. Imitrex really don't do anything however Relpax don't either and was asking what else we could try. He was suck on trying to push Imitrex on me who again I told I had tried all form of Imitrex and nothing. I told maybe b/c for years that all I used and now it want touch it.
I need help in find a Dr that will listen and work with me. My entire refill is about to run out and my migraines are effect by the weather as well as hormonal.
