> It's great you've found something that helps your migraines. That is an excellent idea to keep an emergency stash of Effexor. I had a horrible experience coming off Effexor. It's definitely not you - I had all of those symptoms and so do many many others when they miss a dose.

> If you've already heard this before, I apologize. But if you do drink, stay away from anything that is aged - wine, beer, basically everything. The migraine clinic told me that if I want to drink, I should stick with vodka. Don't know it that helps or not!
Hi -My migraines don't seem to be affected by alcohol at all. I don't drink at all, I get them; I drink wine and beer and everything else, I get them. In fact, I haven't been able to pinpoint any trigger. My grandmother had them and my mother has them - so I guess I inherited this problem.
Someone else (I can't find the post) expressed suprise that Effexor would be prescribed as a migraine preventative; well, all I know is it has worked. I do still get migraines, but only once a month or so. Before I went on Effexor + BuSpar, I had a continuous migraine that lasted about four months straight. :( No kidding.
