A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cypress, TX

My neurologist finally put me on a steroid, after deciding I need something stronger for my 'Status migrainosus' that started 9 days ago. I take Dexamethasone (4mg) 2x a day. Helped for a maybe 3hrs from my initial dose at 6 PM yesterday, but when it came to sleeping, I feel like a Jackson Browne song, "Running on Empty". I got to bed at 10 PM, but can't shake this migraine off and was up at 1:30 AM and finally fell back asleep after 4:00 AM, but only slept about another hour. Got my 6 hours of… read more

I started Aimovig yesterday and was just wondering how to safely dispose of the injectors. Looked online, but the company that called me about this told me how to sign up, but I never heard anything afterwards. Any suggestions?

Amytriptaline/Trazadone

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kalamazoo, MI

Hi everyone. I have been on 50mg of trazadone for 2 weeks. It makes me sleep which has been great, but the next day i feel awful and so tired, even when I do sleep. My neuro prescribed amytriptaline instead since the trazadone is giving me weird side effects. Does anyone have experience or think that the amytriptaline might work for me if the trazadone didn't? I'm scared it will do the same thing.
