Dinah,
I feel your pain...... I've been waking up with headaches this whole last week. I have a long, long history of severe migraines. They are much better now, but every now and then they rear their ugly head.
My insurance is pretty bad about limiting drugs, too. I don't have the energy to fight them.
Right now I'm trying to wean myself off tramadol (which was helping so much with my back and other arthritic pain--I was only taking one a day), because it was giving me severe hot flashes. So now I'm hurting, and flashing, and throbbing, and pouting because I'm not sleeping well.
Oh yeah, and I can't quit eating either. I've gained 3 pounds!
I'm not familiar with the migraine med you are on. I did injections of DHE-45 and Imitrex until I developed an allergy to them.
Now that you are really staying maybe you will feel better.
