I think you just need to take it before bedtime. It prevents you from going into REM sleep which is when the beast normally comes to play. I havent tried it as yet myself but heard it has good results for some.
Feel better Brian, hope you have a pf night,
Suzy

Brian,
Sorry you are having a bad time right now.
There really isn't a tip to taking the dramamine, just take two before bed. I think Benadryl will do the same, but I've never used it. If you get a breakthrough with two dramamine, take three the next night. It will let you sleep through the night, the only problem is, that it's not REM sleep, so you don't get the real rest you need.......but, it's still better than getting slammed every hour.
PFDAN,
Tracey

Well, I am not sure what to say.
Thank you.

Brian...
Sorry you're having a rough time... 
I don't know what abort meds. you have...
Blake has taken a Zomig at bedtime (during the really bad times when he knows he's gonna get hit). It holds him for up to 8 hours usually.
The Dramamine has worked for him too....
Good Luck,
Jacks

Thanks again, y'all. I'll try these things.
This is a first for me, I suppose. I never discuss my own suffering. Maybe a lesson will be learned. I dunno.
I felt quite certain I was strong enough. We shall see...

Brian
The Zomig (or Imigran) pill as a short term preventive has worked for me sometimes too, just to buy a few hours pain free sleep.
Worth a try

Ok what Dave does also if you have some is to pop an Imatrex pill before he falls asleep because by the time the pill takes effect if he is about to get hit it lessens the severity of the attack... I know you arent supposed to use it as a preventative but it worked for Dave... God Bless you Brian Y and Jayne you are such a great supporter......love ree

Brian,
Pain Free Vibes Coming Your Way !!
Hope it works for you. You can also try an Amerge tablet. Works about the same as an Imitrex tablet for me. As REE said, it's not suppose to be a preventive, but it works for me most of the time if I take one before falling asleep.

Another trick that may help is to sleep in the La-Z-Boy. Or in bed with the head elevated. Won't stop an attack from coming on but may help a little.

Brian......I agree with Bob about sleeping in a somewhat upright position. I slept for 3 weeks on the sofa, with lots of pillows. It was more of a reclined position. Seems when I went to bed and in the horizontal position, I was more susceptible to a really bad hit. Just one of those things that seemed to work for me.
Hope you get some relief, sweetie.
PF vibes,
Jean
