> What is the cause of your migraines?

If I only knew for sure! There seem to be a link between migraine attacks and the my hormonal cycle - period and ovulation. I can count on the headaches at these two monthly events. Then there are the foods such as chocolate and cheese as well as alchohol and sugar. I cannot drink at all. Stress (such as aggitation), lack of sleep and tension are big triggers - normal daily life in other words..... And then there is the over use of the migraine medication - Imitrex an Frova can cause rebound headaches and trap me in evil cycle of pain and medication.
Effexor has been prescribed as a med to take me off the Imitrex and Frova but I seem hyper sensitive to the med. I am pretty out of it on 37.5 mg XR and the headaches in the morning are MEAN.
I developed a pattern of migraines 8 years ago and have the same condition my grandmother suffered from.
