OK so the Topomax was bad. Now my doc wants me to try Gabatril. He says that it is another seizure med. Anyone know anything about it?
Supposed to take 4mg each night before bed.

An Allergic Reaction???? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG, You have to be kidding??? Wonder if I can use that as an excuse to cuss out a gall that I work with, and say it was an allergic reaction to my new meds???
OK gonna do more research before I start this one.

Well I have not had the side effects that I had with the topomax. Seems to be making the HA less intense bu they are lasting longer. Sees like I have a more constant HA with spikes at my normel CH times rather then the PF between the CHes.
I see my doc next week do to a treatment on my occipital nerve (they are going to strip it to try and get rid of the pain receptors for 9-12 months till they grow back and see if that helps.
I'll keep you posted.

I''m a bit nervous about it. But the shot the nerve and "froze" it for 3 days and I was pain free. So I am willing to try it. I know that it might not help and of course there is a chance that it might make it worse, but getting hit 5-8 times a day K-7 and up is wearing on me and I am willing to try anything at this point.
I will put faith that it will help. I have to believe that if it helps a little then it is worth it.
