I started 10mg of amitriptyline mid-April. By end of May the sleepiness was a past issue and I was even seeing a difference in the hormonal migraines, and it weed whacked a lot of the daily ones.
I negotiated away from topomax right out of the gate bc my mom's experience with it was dire, and the biggest impact I was having from the frequent attacks was brain fog--and i knew work was going to be crazy this summer in a career-changing way.
The rescue meds were trickier to dial in; and it infuriates me how much of that was my neuro having to build a fucking federal case for insurance to cover a gepant med. IT'S ALL BROKEN.
