Hi Tim
Thanks for the response. Currently i am taking Ritalin which incidently started tonight with my first tab(10mg). This as recommended by Dr Mellick. Prior to this, i was taking Migral(25mg) with a combination of painkillers such as Desprin (3 off 300mg during attack) as well as Megapyn tabs( 2 off crushed during the attack)The attacks still lasted between 45 min to hour and half. Further to these meds. i recently (week ago) started taking St John'Wort (1 tab morning and evening )as well as Feverfew (1 three times a day) Last night i had a major episode and decided to take up Dr Mellicks recommendation on Retilin.
I don't know much of the drug or it's side effects and hope you can share your thoughts with me.
It's great to see that their is such a great support group out there that is trying to help others. I really appreciate being part of the group and having the opportunity to share my experiences with people who can identify with my situation. Just knowing that you guys are out their is a comfort on it's own. I hope to become a regular guy on the support group that could possibly help others as soon as i can get my bouts under control.
Drop me a line with any supporting information and recommendations you may have.
Thanking You Sincerely
Mahendra
