I have been prescribed many medications for treating the symptoms of my migraine attacks over the years. I have been wrestling with 'classic'-type migraine (with visual aura) for about a decade now. Unfortunately, they are now occurring much more frequently than when I was first diagnosed. I have been on Relpax since it's inception, I believe, and it's been great for me. However, ...

I have been prescribed many medications for treating the symptoms of my migraine attacks over the years. I have been wrestling with 'classic'-type migraine (with visual aura) for about a decade now. Unfortunately, they are now occurring much more frequently than when I was first diagnosed. I have been on Relpax since it's inception, I believe, and it's been great for me. However, I was recently prescribed Migranal (DHE) and have had a lot of success with it!! Currently, it seems to work better than Relpax for me, or at the very least, comparably. It has been a Godsend for me regarding relief from my migraine attacks with little to no side effects! I rotate it with the Relpax (I get several attacks per month but as per insurance, only 6 Relpax pills) so I am now covered if need be and do not fret about running out of abortive migraine meds!

I've been having migraines since I was 13 years old. Usually a good dose of Axert at early onset will make them go away. However, I recently had one that lasted a little over a week. I was admitted to the hospital and administered DHE through an I.V. every eight hours for 3 days. Although it cured my migraine, it had some serious drawbacks for me.

I've been having migraines since I was 13 years old. Usually a good dose of Axert at early onset will make them go away. However, I recently had one that lasted a little over a week. I was admitted to the hospital and administered DHE through an I.V. every eight hours for 3 days. Although it cured my migraine, it had some serious drawbacks for me. If the nurses pushed the medicine too fast, I started throwing up like crazy. Also, it made it where my body is producing little to no urine what so ever, which is pretty uncomfortable. However, compared to having a migraine for a week, this was a breeze. I highly recommend it if you're suffering.

Have had severe migraines for 18 years and was in ER regularly. Finally found my way to a doctor who started my on DHE and I haven't been in ER for migraine since. Along with preventative meds and DHE, my doctor brought me from having half-a-dozen good days a month to having only half-a-dozen migraines a month.

Along with preventative meds and DHE, my doctor brought me from having half-a-dozen good days a month to having only half-a-dozen migraines a month. Though it's inconvenient to use at earliest symptom in some situations and I've developed some side effects such as mild leg cramps, DHE is still my back-up medicine of choice to halt a severe migraine attack.

Comment:
After 4 neurologist and 30 years of suffering with migraines one Dr. taught me how to inject myself with this drug. In the 14 years that I have been using it, it has never failed to relieve my headaches within a couple of hours, depending on severity. I had tried every other drug on the market up to that time, unsuccessfully. I even became dependent on opiates. I have been clean for 4 years and ... Show Full Comment

I have been clean for 4 years and am very glad that there is a non-narcotic solution to this dibilatating illness.
