yesterday was headache doctor visit. in the past month, i had only 5 migraines, yay!!! he upped the topamax, said i should continue taking the zanaflex when i need it. i told him how work is not so supportive when i need to take off work b/c i have a headache and he wrote a script for an abortive called Axert, which i understand is a triptan. he said it may not make me as sleepy as the zanaflex, which is not a true abortive. so i filled the axert ($50!) and have not yet had to take it.
i'm glad to have it. i'm supposed to take it at the first sign of migraine. does that mean i take it when i'm prodromey, or when i get the first pain? what if i can't tell if it's going to be a migraine or just a really bad headache? sometimes i can't tell and i don't always get the aura first. it seems like the headaches are random.
think i'll post in the forum too to see what anyone has to say.
