Jean,
I don't know, maybe with me it's stress too. I'll do a search on Imitrex because I just can't see putting up with this. I don't know how people who routinely get migraines cope. I'm glad you found this site. Most people who post here are extremely knowledgable and don't hesitate to share their expertise. Thanks for your advice.
Marie> > I've been experiencing headaches upon waking for the past several years. I can't say for sure if they began when I began using ADs. Recently, I've begun having them about 3x/mnth (sometimes once a week). They're so debilitating all I can do is go back to sleep. Aspirin doesn't seem to touch the pain. Sometimes they go away by noon, other times I have them all day, but never (so far) more than one day in duration. When I have them, I wake up with them, they never spontaniously just develop during the day. I refer to them as "migraines" because the pain is fairly intense, I also feel slightly nauseaus, and can't stand the light. Has anyone else had headaches like these? I was wondering of they could be med related. I take Prozac and phentermine. Please help if you can.

> Marie, I have just recently discovered this site and your post jumped out at me. I started getting migraines when I had a total hysterectomy in 83. They were bad for the first few years and always lasted 3 days. Only the last 5 or so years did I start to wake up with one and usually always on a Fri. or Sat. morn. I think it is stress. My husband and I work seperate shifts, so I only see him on the weekends. Hmmmmmm. Maybe it's impending stress? Anyway, I started using Imitrex about then, but it works great. So every morning for 3 days, I take the Imitrex so I can go to work. I have tried lots of other meds, but go back to the Imitrex. I started on ad's last Jan. and do get a lot of headaches, but no more migraines than usual. Maybe the migraines will stop as suddenly and they started.
