I have suffered from migraines since i was about 13 years old. For those regular old migraines i take Relpax which works wonderfully, in fact it is the only migraine med that works for me. Anywho...they don't seem to work for my menstrual migraines and i am wondering if any of you get them and have you found anything that helps????

I have migraines (along with menstrual migraines). I take Relpax too-it is a wonder drug isn't it?! Sometimes it does help my menstrual migraines if I take it early enough, other times I have to take Motrin 600-800 mg and a narcotic as I will keep menstrual migraines for days and that is the only way I can get rid of them. If I am at work and I get them, I stick with Motrin until I can get home.
