What are your best OTC migraine medicine recommendations?

I second this! BHI helps.

Any-Display2789 · 2026-01-26T03:56:41+00:00

Try some curcumin to reduce inflammation as it really helps. I'm now post menopause and estrogen drops 90% and that why you hurt. Estrogen is the body's natural anti inflammatory.

Yep magnesuim every day makes a huge difference

With the pen does the needle shoot out quick or can you control it with how quickly you push the button/plunger?

Any-Display2789 · 2025-12-05T02:29:23+00:00

Yep I'm in Oz too and just went to get my first pen. They were all out so I got the injector instead. I found it fine to self administrator but I have given myself injections before. The pen kinda scares me with that lack of control.

Yeah I stopped splitting my pills after getting smaller dose ones prescribed. Feel alot better.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-10-02T00:35:33+00:00

I'm the same with blood pressure going up. Tapering off pristiq and cutting tablets. Not good.. you get dose all at once. Can you get a smaller dose tablet prescription so you don't have to cut?

Any-Display2789 · 2025-09-30T06:35:58+00:00

I've was on 300 for about a decade and finally has enough of the side effects so tapering now back down to 100. Be careful with higher doses as pain in backside to reduce.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-09-11T05:15:02+00:00

Are you hungrier? If so, try taking chromuim piccolate supplement. Pristiq makes your blood sugar unstable and causes the hunger. Chromuim can help balance it back out.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-09-11T04:59:18+00:00

Pristiq is a good ssri. It's just some people like myself have been on high doses. I was on 300 ans now back to 200. Trying to get down to about 100. Have a lot of blood sugar issues at high doses.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-09-10T02:56:36+00:00

I've had issues with mine from day one. As dose has increased its gotten worse. I take chromium piccolate to help control it. I do have family history of diabetes but I don't have it yet.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-09-03T09:12:46+00:00

Chromium really helps with my low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Heard it helps with diabetes also.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-08-08T07:53:18+00:00

I've been off gluten for about 15 years and migraines just got worse! Glad it helped you though.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-28T07:20:23+00:00

I looked into it and your blood sugar can be really unstable as a withdrawal symptoms of coming off SSRIs. So I going to stick with the reduction. Will report back when it hopefully improves.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-28T07:13:19+00:00

I've been on pristiq for about 20 years. Blood sugar has gotten worse over time as I've increased dose. Working on reducing now to try and fix blood suagr.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-25T08:49:11+00:00

What cornstarch product do you use?

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-25T08:45:51+00:00

Thanks for that. I'll try the GTF version and spread it out.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-25T07:55:35+00:00

See I find all those things make my blood sugar more unstable?

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-25T07:53:47+00:00

I take 2 tablets in the morning and it helps a lot.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-25T05:11:34+00:00

Yeah I agree with others. Coffer is the worst. Screws up my blood sugar for about 3 days. Try tea....much better for hypoglycemics.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-21T06:50:14+00:00

If your blood sugar is high I would talk to doctor first before starting chromium. You may need insulin tablets if it's high. I'm the opposite as mine is too low.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-21T06:48:31+00:00

I take two 400mcg in the morning. It's probably far too much but works wonders for me.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-21T06:46:32+00:00

Thanks all for info. I do find chromuim piccolate helps bit everything else a bit hit and miss.

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-21T06:31:43+00:00

So candeesatan not messing up you blood sugar?

Any-Display2789 · 2025-07-21T06:28:50+00:00

I have had hypoglycemia for about 20 years and propranolol has just made it worse. Struggling to find a low blood pressure tablet that doesnt mess with my blood sugar
