Gastric bypass

Hi, I’m new, is there anyone here who has had a gastric bypass and suffer from migraines? I did great with a few excedrine when I was younger, it would either get rid of it or take the edge off. Now my migraines are mor symptomatic and I’ve had my gastric bypass so NSAIDS are a big no. The tryptans don’t do a lot for me. I am on Botox that has definitely helped. The only pain medication that was prescribed me was Tylenol 3 that didn’t work well and my HMO treated me like a drug addict. I wondered what pain medication that you have used that worked. I’m not talking preventative, abortives I’m talking in the midst pain killers.

Thanks, A

Hi there I'm so sorry you suffer with this infliction on top of other health issues.

There are a few suppliments people use that help as preventative, read through the posts.

Me, well I found immigran injections a better Triptan when I was at my worst along with naproxen but their not good for gastric issues.

I was treated for chronic migraine for yrs and had every single treatment out there. Eventually I got a proper diagnosis and BOTOX is my savoir.

Mirtazipine 7.5 every night help me sleep and helps prevent serious attacks and a surprise was that they stopped my night flushes.

I wish you well and hope you get your migraines under control.
