Title: Kudzu & Migranal
Post by MarkHW on Feb 28^th, 2006, 11:48am

Well... I'm going to bite the bullet.. I ordered Kudzu today.

The question I have is what about Kudzu with Migranal? Any ideas or experiences?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm not really sure because I'm not familiar with Migranol. I looked it up and saw this:

Most important fact about this drug
Return to top

Migranal Nasal Spray is for use only during a genuine attack of classic migraine. Do not attempt to prevent migraines with this drug, and do not use it for tension headaches, cluster headaches, or unusual types of migraine such as hemiplegic or basilar migraine.

But I know others here use it or something like it.

Migranol was perscribed to me fro a headache specialist who has at least a few CH patients.

If it wasn't going to cost me an arm and leg to try, I would have tried it by now. Plus, melatonin and verap are working so well so far.

I am taking Kudzu, just started Lamictol. I had two full pain free days in a row this week!!!!!!!!!!! I very seldom get more than a single day PF. I am sure it is the kudzu, as I am chronic. My hits have been much less intense, except for 2 sessions with the monster, but by now I should have been hit with close to a dozen massive hits.
I hope Kudzu works as well for you!!

I was on a DHE (same chem as migranol) infusion pump for about two weeks to try and break the CH cycle. Prior to pump, CH about every day, during pump only 3 CH. I had to follow up for 10 days using migranol nasal spray and got a few CH during this time. Thought I was near the end of my cycle (been 9 weeks), but am getting frequent CH again, so have reverted to Imitrex, since it works great to abort. Not sure if the migranol was effective or only periodically halted the cycle. Anyone have any similar experience?
