i gotta type this quick before futureama comes on... this is for the (few) people on here that care.... i had a migraine today... the type that makes u wanna go the hospital. i wont go any further on that. it was bad. i took two relpax's (migraine meds.- NOT narcotic)... it went away, i felt good, the endorphins were flying.. it was great... then i had an adverse effect. it was called MANIA... it was not pretty..., my tboughts were racing, i had no impulse control, couldnt stop talking and my sentences made no sense. it was this weird happy feeling with an under-lying depression right beneath it.... i wanted to kill myself. i wanted it to end. i got two valiums from my neighbor, meditated, and drove drove drove. im doing better.... just cried. (healing) but it really really really sucked. i dont even know how to describe it.
god damn, thats terrible, maybe the fda should take a fucking look at thier research on this migrane drug.
well, i looked it up and it's a "rare" side effect... so maybe i'm just one of the FEW people that happened to... who knows though, it's a new drug. in any case, im gonna find a new med. to take for my migraines....
I've never had a migraine, thank God, I can barely handle regular headaches. My old roomate would get bad migraines though, she'd just stay in her room the whole day with the lights out and no noise.
I have adhd and get mania because of it. I don't get depressed but I literally feel like my head is spinning with thoughts. glad it is over for you.
eeP! That sucks, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I went to the hospital for a migraine when I was about 18 or 19 (well I went quite a few times over my lifetime, but this bad experience I was 18 or 19). I had the migraine for about 5 days I do believe. So, after a day of shopping in a busy mall with it, I could no longer hear for the insanely loud noises rushing thru my ears and couldn't see. So I skip work and go in. They thought I had a brain tumor or something, because it was a cluster. So they're getting me ready for an MRI, but first give me some dimmerol to ease the pain. The dumbasses gave me 3 times the amount for my body weight (I'm 100 pounds soaking wet) and send me off for my MRI. While in the machine I had an allergic reaction and started OD'ing at the same time. My pulse oxygen levels dropped to the floor, as well as all of my vitals and I tweeeeeked the fuck out! Went all manic tryin' to escape the 20 people who were workin' on me. LOL. Finally after some narcan I was okay and such, just sick and started having panic attacks daily (I already had panic disorder and just didn't know it). I'll NEVER take another medication besides regular tylenol for a migraine again, as long as I shall live.
