    I am sorry it didn't work out for you. I started taking amitriptyline for my migraine two weeks back and so far it has been good. I used to get migraines almost every other day and it's been a week and a half of no migraine for me. However I am experiencing paranoia, I freak out if the door bell rings or if my phone rings all of a sudden and I can feel my heart beat fast. Has anyone here experienced something like that with amitriptyline ?

    I've been getting chronic migraines since I was 8. I'm now in my 50s. I've been getting botox for 5 years now and it's the only thing that has helped me. I dp have a copayment that the botox savings program doesn't pay for which is $150.00 from the insurance. They consider it as surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else's neurologist office puts it down as surgery code? The botox savings company use to puck it up, but the past 2 years they haven't. I get 38 to 40 injections. Mine are so bad that I get it done every 10 weeks instead of every 12 weeks. Some insurances allow you to get it done every 10 weeks. Mine seem to wear off 2 to 3 weeks before my 12 weeks was up. I noticed you got some in the back of your head. My neurologist has never done that until this last time I had it done and she only did it on one side. I have a autoimmune disease which causes me to have chronic optical migraines and this one nerve in the back of my head and neck kills me. I'm hoping the botox helps 🙏in this area as well. For me the pain is uncomfortable, but it's worth it not to have a migraine everyday of my life. If you struggle with chronic migraines and tried everything like me and nothing has worked I say give botox a try. One thing to say is you won't notice until you 3rd time. Don't do botox one time and quit. My neurologist started off slow and by the 3rd time he told me I'd notice and he was 100% right. His PA now gives them to me and she's just as good.

      @sunshineandpain 5 місяців тому

I don't think my neurologist runs botox as a surgery code because I still have a portion covered by the botox savings program. I'm so happy it has helped you and hopefully the nerve in the back od your head will relax with botox!

The weight gain is definitely something to consider when weighing pros and cons. When I look at the weight gain I had, which was probably 10-15 pounds, it is a small price to pay for being emotionally stable. Obviously it's different for everyone though. 😊

    I remember the sudden switch in my mood after a few weeks on Zoloft. I felt no change until one day at work I realized I was really engaging in conversation, laughing, just vibing. The biggest thing was how quiet my mind was. It was silent unless I actually picked something to think about, which I didn't even know was possible. Then I stopped taking it after a while thinking I could replicate the feeling on my own. Even though nothing too bad was happening in my life, I was unable to get back to that state. It's been a couple of years now and not once have I felt how I felt when I was on Zoloft. I guess I'm not as bad as I was pre Zoloft. I stopped drinking, I lowered my regular consumption of sugar and caffeine to keep my mood in check, I exercise regularly, and I'm not struggling financially. I've tried a lot of things to have a fulfilling life, but throughout it all my mind couldn't cross into that blissful zone anymore. I'm thinking about putting those cleats back on. 😂

    why are white women like 20-40 times more likely to be on/prescribed antidepressants than POC women in America? I mean, if you see a graph of that - its unbelievable, especially for the women 40+ even though poc women are more likely to be sexual abuse survivors; more likely to be substance abusers; up to 10-20 times more likely to be victims of homicide, and i believe also more likely to commit suicide. yet they are not being targeted by any industry to put them on prozac.

    Hi Sunshine and pain. My name is Lori and I wake up every single day with a migraine. I know your video is a year old, but I have a question. I just had my 3rd round of Botox injections 2 weeks ago. I know everyone is different, but if you could please tell me how many rounds did it take for you? I have bad side effects of worse migraines and flu like symptoms. I need hope please. 💠😔

      Hi Lori! I had improvement after my first injections, but it didn't take full affect until after my third round of Botox. I'm so sorry you've had such painful side effects. I truly hope you can find relief. ❤️

    I’ve been taking nortriptyline for about 5 days now and it’s been making me feel real weird I had a small panic attack, heart beats fast, dry mouth, and my appetite is completely gone I haven’t eat all day idk if I should continue to take them or not my neurologist office is closed for the day can and I don’t know if I’m overreacting or what if anyone give me some feedback if they’ve had a similar experience ?

      So sorry. I would call the neurologist tomorrow. They may have an after hours phone number you could contact today? Best of luck!

      I’ve seen that if it causes fast heart rate you should probably stop taking it. Definitely ask your prescribing doctor though to make sure.

    I am suffering everyday with migraines 😢 my doctor wants me to to do Botox and I been putting it off 😢 I am afraid of side affects if any . My doctor has been doing it since 2011 . My insurance company is paying for my Botox with no out of pocket fees 😢😢😢

      I hope you can find something that will work. That's wonderful your insurance will cover the cost! The pain of the injections are definitely better than daily migraines. Hope you can find peace with whatever treatment you decide!

    Thank you so much for this video. I’ve got chronic pain and am still undiagnosed. It’s great to know all the feelings I’m having are normal and will come in waves. I’m definitely only at the early stages although I’ve had pain for about 2 years now. I’m hoping I’ll make it to the acceptance stage at some point 😊

      ❤️❤️ working through doctors to get a diagnosis and then try to treat the problem is so difficult. I hope you can find that place of acceptance! You are definitely valid in all of the complicated feelings you've experienced and are experiencing. Best of luck!

      Yay for the bad feelings gone! Hopefully you will feel again soon once the medication has had a little longer. You may also want to talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose. Good luck!
