Severe Migraines

Sex: F
Age: 47.0 Side effects: None that I remember. Time taken and dosage: 3 days Review: Injection every 8 hrs in hosp f/3 days. On 3rd day severe migraines started again & they gave me Toradol to help w/the pain. The migraines continued f/2 more days. I fought thru the pain & tears. Under my Doctor's advisement I did'nt take percocet(narcotic)for pain and took toradol instead. It was well worth the 3 days of pain because now my migraines are manageble. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis(MS)5 years ago. There's no cure for MS,but my migraines are under control & I'm thrilled! ![]()

Age: 54.0 Side effects: Nothing material, a little nausea once. Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review: This is a far better option than pills. The rebound effect is eliminated and the results are consistently better than other drugs I've used over the past 20 years. ![]()

4 month long migrain
by Reviewer89937
on July 24, 2007
Sex: F
Age: 35.0 Side effects: Went into a Brady code, Heart rate dropped to 30 beats a minute, cold and pale, coldness in fingers/hands and feet, severe mood change (anger/ anxiety) Time taken and dosage: 1 days Review: I would not recommend this drug to anyone. The contraindications for the drugs are long. I thought I was going to die, and now my migrain is worse than ever, and am back on dilaudid (strong pain medicine), again. If I was given all the information prior to use, I would not have had the injection at all. ![]()
Chronic Migraines
by Reviewer89938
on July 17, 2007
Sex: F
Age: 41.0 Side effects: nausea Time taken and dosage: 1 months Review: I take Ondansetron for the nausea about 1/2 hour before the DHE. The shots are annoying but I get longer relief than from the nasal spray. (at least 48 hours) I'm not convinced this is the answer but at least I am off the triptans and analgesics that have a higher incidence of rebound. ![]()
migraine

on March 11, 2007
Sex: F
Age: 59.0 Side effects: diarrhea and joint stiffness Time taken and dosage: 17 years Review: I've been using DHE for 17 years. It works very well for me. I currently have 2 to 3 migraines a month, down from 5 or 6 when they started 27 years ago. Prior to using DHE I would have to go to the ER for injections that put me to sleep for a full day. I highly recommend DHE45 but I do wonder how long it is safe to contrict/dilate blood vessels with this or any other vasoconstricting drug. ![]()

migraine headache

on November 19, 2005
Sex: M
Age: 36.0 Side effects: mild Nausea, diarhea, tastes bad benefits far outweighed the side effects. Time taken and dosage: 4 months Review: Suffered Chronic migraine 3 years, tried dozens of preventatives and abortive medications. Went to Cleveland Clinic Headache Center and they took me off Imitrex(Had been using 15-20 days/month) Replaced with DHE injection. Improvement was so dramatic I went from 15-20 days of pain/month to 4-5. I understand DHE has been around for years, but none of my Headache Dr's tried it until Cleveland. ![]()
