Please HELP my Wife from death by side-effects!

Posted by Festus on January 13, 2005, at 21:39:24

My Little Love is trying to cope with chronic Migraine problems and has for 4 years,now.Her doc has tried so many different med combos and other things,but she has the most luck from Maxalt.We got our insurance cancelled a while back,so it,s been hard trying to live off samples her doc provides,as Maxalt is very costly.Most good Migraine meds are,He says.In addition to the agony of the headaches,she has stopped all forms of exercise,eats when and what she, able to,due to how the headaches effect her stomach,has picked back up on smoking,gained 60-70 lbs.in the past 2 years,and stays wiped out most of the time.She takes Lexapro 10mg.,Inderal 40mg.X 2,and Zonegran 100mg.,on top of the headache meds,Maxalt and Motrin.She asked the doc for something to help with the awful lethargy from the meds,so he gave her Gabitril.That,s a anti-siezure med with fatigue and tiredness as main side-effects!She did,nt get it.We made an app. for her to see my Chronic Pain Dr. this month,hoping for better results.Are these meds all really needed for her headaches?She wants to cut out some but which ones?What is it that,s causing her to not be able to hardly function?Anyone know?Festus
