My husband and been in throes of a vicious cycle for the last week, waking up a couple times a night. I called his neurologist had originally prescribed Depakote. That worked like a charm and shortened his last cycle quite a bit. They usually last for 3-4 weeks and come mainly in October-December.
He isn't taking as much Depakote as was prescribed because it makes him feel crappy and sedated during the day. He was only taking one at night before bed. That hasn't worked at all this time. I called his neurologist, after having read most of the posts on this board, and asked him to prescribe oxygen for him. He wouldn't do it, which I thought was ridiculous. I can't understand why he wouldn't prescribe something non-toxic like oxygen, when most of the other meds mentioned on here are harmful to some extent. Anyway, sorry about all the rambling. My whole point is that the neurologist finally gave us a prescription for Migranol nasal spray. Has anyone tried this, and if so, how did it work? By the time I picked it up this morning, he had already had two and was done with the last one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I think we'll be getting a different neurologist :)
Thanks!
