OK - WHO HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH MIGRANOL/DHE?

 Hey guys,

I just got treated with Migranol/DHE at the ER for the first time.  It worked really well for me, which is great, since I've gone thru everything else.  I think I can even get my PCP to prescribe the Nasal Spray version for me since its not a narcotic.  I did so research on it on the web and it sounds perfect for me.

If any of you have any experience with this med, please let me know about your experience, good or bad, so I know what to look out for.

Thanks...Got my fingers crossed!!!

Yes, I have had DHE IV, Migranol NS, and even gave myself shots of DHE at home. IT worked most of the time, but it made me so sick(vomitting, aweful leg cramps) that I couldn't continue it.

The NS is an enteresting contraption...took a while to figure out, but soon enough you'll get it.

It is a great medication for most people though. Do ask for something for nasuea if you get a script for the NS. It may just be your saving factor! Good luck with it.

         I have had  DHE by Iv (both continuos drip and most of the time every 6 hrs with IV zofran for 3 to 6 days depending on how severe the migraine was). I have also used DHE at home both in the nose spray and the injection form. Intially it seemed to help but rather quicky it stopped helping.If I am hospitalized my doctor always wants to try it for at least 3 days before they consider other things. It does not seem to work for me anymore and it always gave me moderate to severe stomack upset and muscle cramping as well as severe diareha  that  needed medicine to controll. I have met many people who it has helped tremendously and they say it always breaks their cycle and gives them relief. I hope that will be the case for you. I would ask your Dr for something for nausea .Good luck !
