I am hoping that the glasses help clear my headaches up after having them and migraines for YEARS, if not I guess it's keeping on trying zolpidem and imitrex like it or not.

black like black in and out for a few seconds then back to normal, he had no idea and neither did I. But please if you haven't yet get your eyes checked and ask about having your optic nerve checked, they will have to dilate your eyes for this.

I've been taking this off and on for a week for headaches 10 mg, I also have bipolar disorder, seizure disorder, what brought me to this page was the interactions and the site not knowing enough about the medicine yet. I have severe insomnia and bad headaches which I haven't had any success with as of yet. I started taking this medicine about a week or 2 ago, Along with it and the combination of Gabapentin (Neurontion which has less side effects than lyrica and doesn't cause weight gain) clonazapem (klonopin), Zonisamide (zonegran), and Divalproex Sod ER (Depakote ER) all for bipolar and headaches, basically they all help everything that's wrong with me. The only warning that the site gives is that they may cause HEAVY sedation. And they do when you first start taking them, and have been for the most part so far, I love the nights of sleep they give. I also need to comment about headaches, I also take Naproxen Sodium OTC 220 mg take it as you need, double up if ya need to, it's for arthritisit's been helping SOME, but the main thing is needing to go to the EYE doctor to get glasses. I just went and got glasses and my headaches have eased up a bit after years and years of trying, husband has never been to a doctor for anything in his life and went for glasses and they found a swollen optic nerve, he has been having headaches, some loss of balance in the past, swelling in his hands and tingling, some back pain, and when he is working when he bends down to get stuff things just go/
