What do you suggest for hormonal migraines?
I need a suggestion/solution for migraines, when the biggest trigger is Hormones. I have tried many meds, but it seems that the only solution that is repeatedly suggested is a Hysterectomy. And I don't want one, then I have to be on the hormone meds... I am that 1% who cannot take hormomes easily, I get blood clots. So this is a BIG drama for me. Please let me know what you do know..
Thank you:>)
Hi -- I too have suffered terribly from hormonal migraines. You may have already tried this (since you mention you tried a lot of meds), but have you tried the anti-seizures? That is: Neurontin, Keppra and Lyrica? Also, have you tried CoQ10? I am currently on Neurontin 1200 mg/day plus CoQ10 300 mg/day (CoQ10 takes 3 months to be effective), and that seems to work. Topomax has also worked, but it made me unbearably sleepy, so I had to stop. Also, a really good doctor to talk to about hormonal migraines is Dr. Stephen Silberstein in Philadelphia. Hope this helps...good luck.
