Title: Users of verapamil and migranal Post by FramCire on Aug 22nd, 2006, 10:13am I was perscribed these 2 drugs together and then when a doctor was doing some research for me found this: [Migranal/verapamils] avoid combo: combo may incr. risk of ergot toxicity, severe vasospasm and ischemia (hepatic metab. inhibited) Yet another wonderful drug interaction. On another unrelated note, I still haven't found an anti-depression medication that either doesn't trigger CH or interact with triptans. |

Title: Re: Users of verapamil and migranal Post by brewcrew on Aug 22nd, 2006, 10:18am I was in the hospital two weeks ago for the DHE-45 treatment, and the doctors there continued to give me verapamil (240 mg, 2x/day). Seems they either don't know about this interaction, or it's bunk. I seemed to have no ergot toxicity, severe vasospasm, or ischemia. |

I have not heard of this either and considering they have opposite effects I wouldn't think that this was a correct statement, however I am not a doctor or a pharmacist or a matchmaker or a cobbler or a mandingo warrior. |

Title: Re: Users of verapamil and migranal Post by FramCire on Aug 22nd, 2006, 1:35pm I spoke with my doctor this morning who says he has percribed this combo for years without any problems. However, the site i got this from is one I KNOW other doctors use for interactions. (epocrates?) Anyway, it could be wrong. |

Title: Re: Users of verapamil and migranal Post by Chronic on Aug 22nd, 2006, 1:36pm I am currently on Migranol and Verapamil and have had no problem. Today i am switching to DHE 45 Injections instead of Migranol. These Chronic Clusters have been a real bitch lately...nothing is keeping them under control. Anyway, I have read about no problems with combining the two |

Title: Re: Users of verapamil and migranal Post by Karla on Aug 27th, 2006, 1:01am You mentioned you thought triptans interact with antidepressants. Can you tell me more about this? I have been on anti depressants and trex and other triptans for several years. While at the same time taking such antidepressants as wellbutrin, celexa,effexor, and cymbalta. Currently on effexor. I also take antiphycotics which I know interact with melatonin so I cant take that. I have geodon,abilify, seroquel. I need these meds. So any info you can give me about drug interactions would be benifitial to know what I am getting myself into. Thanks. |
