In reply to Anyone use Effexor XR for prevention of migraines?, posted by 123 on September 6, 2002, at 14:47:20
I use 37.5 mg. for fibromyalgia pain at night. It does seem to help relieve the muscle pain, and does help me sleep (too far into the morning sometimes!) - but it's done absolutely nothing to help my headaches - in fact, it may have increased them. I use butalbital (Fiorinal) for my headaches in conjuction with 800 mg. ibuprofen and that usually seems to work fine. I try not to take it at the same exact time I take the Effexor, but take it a few hours earlier. I seem to end up getting headaches in the afternoon or early evening a lot, or sometimes I wake up with them.
