Hi,
I have chronic tension headaches (been through many treatments).
Also bad bruxism (teeth grinding). This is exacerbated by
SSRIs like Zoloft.Can I pick your brain and swap stories?
I found Topamax, Klonopin, and Serzone effective
cures.I also take Lamictal for Bipolar II disorder.
But Lamictal doesn't help the headache, in fact
if I raise the dose too much, things get worse.
Neurontin doesn't help much either.Are you just taking the meds for tension headache?
I've read that CCB may be healpful in some cases
to help headaches. what medicines were you thinking?Can you give us some insight on Lamictal's calcium
ion channel mode of action (any research ptrs would
be interesting)? I haven't really heard much about that
one.Thanks a lot!
-John
> Has anyone had any luck with CCB's? I have had my best response to neurontin and lamicatal which have significant effects on the calcium ion channels. So this seems like it might make sense and overlap with the tension headches I experience. I would appreciate all input (whether it makes sense, experiences, etc.). Thanks.
