Just found the local trade name.
Never tried them ,but looking at the data : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptan. , it wouldn’t be advisable.
Thanks anyway. :)
Hey thanks! I don’t have any heart problems and my blood pressure is good.
I think Yaelle will corroborate that when you are in the middle of one of these severe attacks, you’ll take the risk of anything short of a 4 pound sledge to the head to alleviate the pain.
It doesn’t look too risky but I suppose if I suffer a debilitating stroke I can always go back to
practicing law.
One of the downsides to triptans is a kind of `hangover’, some slurring of speech and other minor things, but acceptable to avoid that RR spike through the head sensation.
Yaelle, before triptans my Dad tried everything and was eventually prescribed (I think) lithium carbonate with good results. It is also used for bipolar conditions so ... hmmm.
I’ll talk to my doctor next week.
Get in her face, shove stuff off her desk, etc. ;^)
Good luck to you.
