migraine prevention
"I have had hormonal migraines sine I was 17.  I would have horrible migraines through my menstrual cycle each month.   I developed high blood pressure & my doctor prescribed Linsinopril & when that didn't lower it enough he added Amlodipine.   I took it for about 9 months and never had a migraine which was wonderful.   BUT, I developed waves of severe fatigue and was feeling crappy all over much of the time.  I developed swelling in my feet & ankles & my diastolic blood pressure was almost 100 all the time.  I researched the medicines I've been taking & decided to monitor my blood pressure & stop the Amlodipine.  I instantly felt better & my blood pressure actually went down.  Don't know if migraine will return.  Not worth the side effects!"
