In reply to Morning migraines...Can anyone relate?, posted by Marie1 on September 8, 2001, at 15:52:37
Marie: Morning migraines--I used to get them on Effexor and then when I first started Parnate. I have a history of migraines, but it was not until I got on the Parnate and elizabeth suggested that I might be having "rebound" headaches from the Parnate that I made the connection. My usual migraines went away after menopause, so to have migraines return with Parnate seemed unusual. The problem in my case was that I was taking my two doses of Parnate in the morining (to avoid insomnia) rather than spacing them am and pm. I noticed that the headaches actually went away once I took my first med dose in the morning (although aspirin would not put a dent in them).
We are all different. Your's may actually be migraines; mine were rebound (withdrawal) effects from spacing my doses incorrectly. Good luck.
