I tried weening myself down this summer and began getting headaches more frequently...   But I have really bad dry skin problems and constipation which I believe are from the medication. What are some similar medications in the same class of drugs that I could try instead?  http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/87720/amitriptyline http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/70566/sinus-headahces Mon, 11 May 2009 16:12:16 -0400 Nebula I've managed to get my migraines under control but now I am struggling with sinus headaches. I live in the mountains and the weather can change every hour. Over the counters for sinus pressure don't do anything and neither does imitrex. Is there any way I can relieve the pressure?  http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/70566/sinus-headahces http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/65162/stomach-ulcer Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:14:14 -0400 Nebula I have noticed blood in my stool for the past two days. This has never happened to me before so I am quite freaked out. I've been doing investigation online and I think that I can attribute my symptoms to a stomach ulcer.   The research I've found says that NSAID's can lead to ulcers. I used to take a lot of Imitrex and I still take Amitriptyline every night. I think that both of those medications are NSAID's (right?)   I am just... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/65162/stomach-ulcer http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/61598/wierd-craving Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:40:24 -0500 Nebula During the on set of a migraine I get the weirdest food cravings. I always want something sugary and sweet, or salami, or tons of bread. Actually I get really hungry for all of these things. I feel like most of them are cravings for migraine triggers - so that is weird!    Does this happen to anyone else? http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/61598/wierd-craving http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/54369/options Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:32:23 -0500 Nebula I really feel for everyone who comes to this site and share their frustrations about doctors and medications not working. I just want to share my recent experiences with anyone wondering about the alternatives to tradtional treatment.   I've been off of any medication for 3 months. No preventatives and no abortives. The past few months, I've felt better than I have in years. My migraines have decreased dramatically; I never have more than... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/37626/54369/options
