If you have side effects from Lyrica and haven’t tried these other epilepsy drugs or Botox injections, you may want to ask your doctor about trying them.

Last year I was prescribed Lyrica for postherpetic neuralgia after a nasty bout of shingles. Since then I have had hardly any miriegnas at all and definately nowhere near as severe. When i asked my pain consultant about this he said others had said the same thing but it wasn’t usually prescribed for migraine. It is actually an anti epilepsy drug and my understanding is that it works by changing the nerve pattern.It is a med that you gradually build up the dosage, the side effects are pretty extreme to start off with but they have settled now. The only way I can describe the side effects is that feeling when you have drunk wayyyyyyyyy to much, the room is spinning, the floor seems to move when you walk, you try to lay down but the bed moves and feel very nauseous! For me the benefits now made the side effects worth while to begin with!I had tried pretty much every migraine drug available before all to no avail and my miriegnas would put me in bed for 2 to 3 days at a time.
