Hello. I have 20mg prednisone on hand for unbreakable migraines. I haven’t had to use it in a while, but I need it now. For those of you who have used it, do you typically take one daily for 3 days or 5? And no tapering required? Thank you!

Anyone Else Get Deja Vu?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Auckland, NZ

I know it's common for people with epilepsy, but they've ruled out epilepsy and told me it's just a migraine aura. Does anyone else experience this? What usually happens is I get the deja vu in my sleep, wake up with the deja vu (it's really intense) often I have excess saliva or I have nausea and vomiting. Soon after the deja vu I experience severe headache (migraine).

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Buffalo, NY

What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?

I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more

Medications

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Alberta Canada

Please please let me know some names of medications that you have had some success with. I have tried a couple with not much success. I have found that botox works but I am unable to have health benefits at this time. When I did have benefits it was covered and life was not as painful 😓.

Sumatriptan (generic Imitrex) is cheap at Costco and works well for me as a rescue. Currently, gabapentin is helping me a lot for prevention.
