Zoey Bartlett endorses Excedrin Migraine. And one of the other Bartlett daughters (woe... bad fangirl... can't think of her name... the one in med school at Hopkins) endorses Claritin.

Freaks me out.

Ugh. Yeah, probably not their plan. Most of the prescription stuff made me ill.

Can I ask what daily med you're taking? Mine don't happen very often, but the BIL has them a lot, and I don't believe has been given anything that was *preventative*. Might be worth a shot.

I'm on a low dose of atenolol, which is usually prescribed to lower blood pressure, but also works at preventing migraines.

It has the interesting side effect of magnifying the effects of alchohol, whihc my friends think is pretty damn funny when I get remarkably happy off of one beer.

Huh. I already take that for a cardiac arhythmia problem. Maybe I should ask to raise the dose so my headaches go away too! :)

You did mention that you don't get them a lot... is it less than when you started taking it? I've had one with auras since I was put on it.

I'll have to think about that, since I never put the two together before. Maybe.

I wrote the BIL with the suggestion that it can't hurt to ask the Dr.
