I take Zyprexa (moodstablizer) 5mg in the day.
Irronically, i was on Adderall 60mg (amphetamine) and it would, well in the day when i would have a headache that just you wake with, it would make it go away. It is a stimulant, i think maybe, theroy, that it stimulated veins and somewhat took away the pain, corrected something. But when it wore off sometimes it would come back, but sometimes it wouldnt.
I have been on Lorazepam (Ativan) which is a sedative, but it didnt make headaches go away, sometimes it made them worse. I thought since it depresses the CNS that it would ease up veins, and dialate them. Adderall constricts veins. Weird..
I think i may ask about beta-blockers, but i read that Hydrocodone/Acetamponine is the #1 prescribed medication, well through prescription written in the year, on rxlist.com Or go to google and type in Top prescribed presciption medications.
Thank for the advice.
Matt
