well they had me on nortryptelline before i developed an allergy to it - and thats an antidepressant. Imitrex shots are okay. They kind of didnt figure out where my headaches were coming from until recently - even with the mris, lumbar punctars, weeks in the hospital with treatments - because my headaches got to the point they were so bad i was going to class - getting up in the middle of class going to the bathroom and throwing up - i was in so much pain, i couldnt keep anything down. Anyway - for a while they were just making sure I took my adderall ( i take 20mg 3x a day) gave me depakote (hate the stuff) and gave me perkoset. The low tyramine diet is helpful to some extent...I dont know if theyve checked this out, but one doc found out that i had a sleeping disorder ontop of all of this an added mirapex - which i didnt like personally - but they should check your iron levels b/c muscle contractions trigger everything off - oh they had me on verapamil for a little too, but i have low blood pressure so no go - i dont know if i was any help - your description of your problem was a little over my head - i am a little more than a week before my summer school finals right now & having some problems with other meds - lol - what else is new. sleeping on a japanese buckwheat pillow is also supposed to help. The guy i went to was really great, a nice young neurologist from harvard w/o the complex...let me know if you need any more clarification or anything
