Well, some positive sides to it -- if you get the generic, it's awfully cheap. I think I got a month's supply (80 mg 3x/day) for about 8 bucks. That really beats my zoloft's nearly $200.
I'm gonna call the doc tomorrow and let him know. I've just been on it for 3 days, and did notice immediate relief from neuro-style symptoms that I didn't know originated in migraine.
And I've been mildly happier, less irritable while on it. It's good for while I'm at my job as a relay operator, which requires a lot of patience. But the emotional numbing and slowed down thought process has a negative effect after work. I notice, though, that my emotions/cognition feel normal 5 hours after I take a dose.
How long have you been on it? Did you notice any improvement in bp2 symptoms or in side effects? How do you like the facial flushing?

> Good question, I am sorry I dont have any ideas, I have read so many bits about it lately, I cant keep them straight...you have shared your mood change with the doc? May need an adustment up or down in dose? I am in trial right now to see if it helps with BP2...no concrete results yet.
