Hi Dawn!

I've been suffering from migraines since I was the age of 16. I am now 41 and for the past two years I have been under treatment with a great Neurologist at the Headache Clinic at UCSF. I have to tell you that like you, I was dependant on Opiates for my migraines and constantly in the ER. It wasn't until I started treatment at UCSF that I found out that Opiates can actually create a pattern of headaches for us. The more you take them .. The more migraines you will get. I still get migraines but not as often as before and I no longer take narcotics. I take a preventative medication on a daily basis, along with a combination of Zomig and Naproxin for my attacks and that really seems to knock them out, and I don't feel hung over afterwards.
