Hi all,
I have tried many things (triptans, neuontin, topomax, and many ADs) for my migraines and nothing helped until Zonegran. I have been taking 200mg each night for the past 3 months for prevention. My headaches decreased in frequency and for the past 2 months I have not had a single migraine. I used to have 7 or 8 a MONTH. No cognitive deficit with the Zonegran either.
Zonegran has changed my life!
One thing that used to help abort a migraine when I would start to feel that "burpy" malaise feeling that let me know one was coming - a shot of Southern Comfort! I don't know why... I would even keep a flask in my purse. My husband told me I was becoming a lush, but my neurologist laughed and said the flask was too small to turn anyone into a lush ;-)
Good luck!
Carly
