Dear Nancy- more related questions. As previously stated I have stopped all pain meds. However, I have still been taking two prescriptions... Metoprolol tartrate (25 mg twice/day) and Iprazochrome (2.5 mg three times a day).I have only started taking these for the last 5 days for the first time ever. Are these also potentially contributing to the MOH condition? Should I consider asking my doctor to stop those too? Are they the triptans or NSIADs you mention above? I am asking here first because again, foreign doctor hard to communicate with who is not a specialist in migraine. Looking forward to your response. The progress from halting the pain meds seems to have stopped. Today was another hard one. I know I have to be patient. Do I also need to see about stopping either of the other two meds? At least till this headache is over or are they potentially helpful with it? Thanks in advance.

Q: MOH followup question about two meds
Hi,
I'm not Nancy, but I'll answer anyway. 
Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is frequently used for Migraine prevention. No, it will not contribute to MOH.
I wasn't familiar with Iprazochrome, but from what I can find online, it's also a Migraine preventive medication and should not contribute to MOH.
If you've been in an MOH cycle, be extra patient wating for preventive medications to work. the MOH cycle makes it more difficult.
Hope this helps!
Teri
