Side effects of triptans
hey guys, i've been struggling with migraines for already 7 years of my life, but in the last two years it's getting worse, i have migraines every two weeks, or even once in a week.
a year ago i went to the doctor, she told me to try triptans. i used it one time and it helped, but in the second time i almost died. it was some kind of seizure i guess.
the reality around me and my body felt flat, like i was watching tv or something, i couldnt really talk. i mean, my mind was clear, but when i tried to tell to the people what is going on my words were messing, i was telling some random bullshit even though i understood everything pretty well. after that i started to vomit (sorry), and i couldnt get on my feet.
after that i stopped takint triptans and now im using ketorolac, which helps me a LOT. i mean, after aura i dont have any pain at all. but the thing is, that the more im using it, the more migraines i get.. and its a really strong painkiller, which makes my body addicted to that.
i dont know what to do. maybe somebody else had this kind of problems with triptans too? what did you guys do with that? i want to stop using painkillers and get something, that made specifically for migraines, because im getting in a loop. my doctor said i can start antidepressants, but im still not sure about this idea.
so, anyone with this kind of problem, what did you do? did you find any solution?
(and sorry if my eng is bad, its not my first language and i didnt use any translator :/)
