Preventatives

Butterfly stained glass

My doctor wants me to try Elavil. I an doing my own research. What about Effexor? I have been on multiple preventatives in the past. I also tried Ajovy but stopped. Concerned about side effects. I get about 8 headaches a month.

  1. , I love your beautiful suncatcher! I wanted to share with you the resources we have regarding Effexor: https://migraine.com/search?s=effexor


    I guess it is ultimately up to what you feel is the best fit for you, which is something only you and your doctor can answer! Please do keep us posted on what you decide and how it is working for you, I hope that you will find something that makes a difference for you.

    Warmly,
