Migraine Remedy Question

[Ksa]

It's good that you're seeing a neurologist, he/she will know best what to do (unlike GPs, :/). Remember to tell your doc about the medication you're on, including the nicotine gum.

I don't have a pain problem, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help. But a few of what you've listed aren't really for migraine or, as far as I know, have any effect on migraines. Like tums, caffeine, multivits, ranitidine (this is for acid reflux, am I right?) and magnesium chelate. Tums are for acid reflux as well. How do they help?

Zantac 150 and Thums were an addition I made 3 years ago because the body somehow found a way to defend itself against the opioid by giving an acid reflux during the migraine, which indeed lowers absorption of codeine. The reflux got so bad during the migraine that I need both a PPI and a regular base antacid to get it within normal limits so that the codeine absorbs fast.

My GP told me caffeine helps for migraines, so I said...hehe...why not! lol
