i have the perfect cure… start wanking and when you’re about to cum, hold it and when it hurts a little bit then release and when you feel like you have wings shut your eyes and breathe in deeply, hold for about 10 seconds then release.

ps… don’t forget to flush the defiled tissue down the toilet and wash yourself…

i used to suffer from migraine headaches and what TOTALLY stopped them was when i got 100 per cent of caffiene and refined sugar out of my body. caffiene in ones’ system causes caffiene withdrawl headache. sugar in ones’ system causes hypoglycemic headaches. i got off of sugar by changing over to safe artificial sweeteners.

I take Propanolol too. I’ve had doctors confirm that Topamax causes “cognitive dulling.” They just can’t agree on what dose would cause that. They assure me it won’t happen on 75 mg per day, but it’s my brain, so I’ll have to be conservative and cautious. Even though I really need to weight loss effects right about now.

Plus I tell you it causes terrible constipation. And they say death starts in the colon. I still have these types of problems but nothing compared to when I took that damn topamx and I didn’t even take that many mgs of it. Now I take propanalol to help migraine prevention. Not that it does that much good. I also take trazadone.

Sorry another post. I just wanted to tell you all that Topamx may be good for migraine prevention but it causes just horrible and I mean very bad constipation. At least it did with me. I had to stop taking it. I took it for maybe a year or more. Even lots of fiber didn’t help it. So you win some and you lose some; I guess. Some of these pills aren’t good for the stomach. You can’t win for losing. Sorry.

I started to get migraine headaches I think close to my mid 40s or maybe earlier. Now I’m 51 and I suffer tmj and migraine pain almost daily. Sometimes it get really bad.

I use to take Depakote for some years. Maybe I shouldn’t have quit taking it but my cousin told me it could cause liver disease. It seems as though my migraine headaches began just after I quit taking this medication.

Well, I take Topamax and it has taken my migranes down from 5-6 a month to 1-2. I also take Imitrex to get rid of them once I get them, but it’s so expensive – over $700 a month for me. However, I just cut back on them and I’m only buying $220 worth of Imitrex a month, saving me close to $500 a month, because the Topamax is working so well. However, the Topamax is expensive too. It’s $90 a month for me. The only side effect I got from Topamax was losing 20 lbs in 3 weeks!

I have a precription for Topamax but I don’t think I’m going to take it. I’d rather suffer three times a month than take something daily that’s earned itself the nickname “Dopamax.” To me, it’s just not worth the cognitive side effects.

I have taken Topamax now for years and my migraines have almost disappeared. I have suffered with them for 35 years. I still occassionally will get one, but it is controlled with Zomig. We have come a long way with these new families of drugs. Topamax is not an anti-depressant, and it is all in finding a good neurologist to help maintain your good health….you are worth.

The problem with taking antidepressants as a preventative medication is that the side effects may be much worse than having headaches alone. SSRI withdrawls, or even titrating up on doses on SSRIs.

In my opinion SSRI drugs aren’t worth the trade off in preventing migraines.
