Ergot treatments?

By californiadreamer Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Does anyone have information on using Ergots to treat migraines?  My fiance's doctor said he may have to stay in the hospital for 3 days to receive this treatment.  The doctor said this would help "reset his brain" (my words) since he is "addicted" to Imitrex.  I want to know if anyone has had this type of treatment and if it really works.  I appreciate the information and support!

Medication Overuse Headache can be tough to stop. Ergotamines, like DHE, have been used to break a Migraine cycle. It sounds like a reasonable plan. What is most important is getting your fiance out of rebound and feeling better.
