In reply to Morning migraines...Can anyone relate?, posted by Marie1 on September 8, 2001, at 15:52:37
> I've been experiencing headaches upon waking for the past several years. I can't say for sure if they began when I began using ADs. Recently, I've begun having them about 3x/mnth (sometimes once a week). They're so debilitating all I can do is go back to sleep. Aspirin doesn't seem to touch the pain. Sometimes they go away by noon, other times I have them all day, but never (so far) more than one day in duration. When I have them, I wake up with them, they never spontaniously just develop during the day. I refer to them as "migraines" because the pain is fairly intense, I also feel slightly nauseaus, and can't stand the light. Has anyone else had headaches like these? I was wondering of they could be med related. I take Prozac and phentermine. Please help if you can.
> MarieMarie, I have just recently discovered this site and your post jumped out at me. I started getting migraines when I had a total hysterectomy in 83. They were bad for the first few years and always lasted 3 days. Only the last 5 or so years did I start to wake up with one and usually always on a Fri. or Sat. morn. I think it is stress. My husband and I work seperate shifts, so I only see him on the weekends. Hmmmmmm. Maybe it's impending stress? Anyway, I started using Imitrex about then, but it works great. So every morning for 3 days, I take the Imitrex so I can go to work. I have tried lots of other meds, but go back to the Imitrex. I started on ad's last Jan. and do get a lot of headaches, but no more migraines than usual. Maybe the migraines will stop as suddenly and they started.
