I just had the occipital nerve block treatment done today. I was wondering if anyone else has had this treatment and what their outcome has been. I haven't really noticed much of anything today, but I was told that it can take several days to fully kick in. Currently I have 6 prescriptions. Inderal (just started), Zonegran, Xanax, Ambien, and Maxalt. I also have Imitrex, but I really try to not take it because I have pretty every side effect possible. Hopefully the nerve block will work for a while.
