Prescription Migraine Treatment: Why Medications May Not Be The Safest Choice

Posted In Prevention | No comments

Every chronic migraine sufferer desires to find relief from his or her migraine pain and to hopefully avoid a long drawn out migraine attack. Sadly most migraine sufferers never find he relief desired due to the lack of preparation and education they have regarding migraine treatment. It is easy to use one’s lack of medical knowledge as an excuse for lack of treatment but all it takes is a little bit of time and a whole lot of education.
READ, read and read some more on various migraine treatment options that have proven to help relieve migraine pain and shorten migraine duration. By educating oneself on the various migraine treatments then the migraine patient has a better chance of finding a treatment that works. Though medical professionals know a lot they are not you and your body does not belong to them so they are unable to determine if the treatment being used is a safe one or not. A medical professional can hand down a medication and encourage you the migraine sufferer to use it, but they are unable to explain what your body is doing and how you are mentally, emotionally and physically responding the treatment.

Prescription Medications
Keep in mind that no prescription medication can prevent a migraine 100% but there are those prescription medications available that can help reduce the number of migraine attacks experienced as well as lessen the level of pain felt by the migraine sufferer. A few of the medication that a doctor might prescribe to assist with lessening the occurrence of migraines would be:

• Anti-depressants
• Anti-Seizure Medication
• Blood Pressure Medication

Migraine prevention is by trial and error and the first several prevention methods may or may not work, the important thing is to keep searching and testing out various therapies until something clicks and works. Prescription medication should be one of the last treatments tried in helping relieve migraine headaches; however, until recent years, migraine sufferers had very few options in relieving their migraine pain. New prescription medication called triptans is now available on the market and is geared toward relieving migraine pressure. Triptans have two important abilities:

1. They are able to constrict blood vessels.
2. They create an upset in the process which leads into a migraine by disturbing the sequence of chemicals that inflict pain or irritation to the nerves.

A Sure Thing, Or A Harmful Thing?
Triptans are used as a tool to prevent migraines from being successful in completely immobilizing an individual. Because of triptans unique ability to attach to the serotonin receptors on the blood vessels and the surrounding nerves, they can help reduce and in some cases completely stop migraine headaches from occurring. , Triptans will reduce the amount of pain felt and increase in its effectiveness. Triptans should be administered when the early signs and symptoms of a migraine begin to be felt. Taking one after the pain has settled in will reduce the effectiveness and increase the chances for side effects as well as a migraine relapse.

The most common side effects associated with triptans are but not limited to:

• Drowsiness
• Facial Reddening
• Fatigue
• Tightening In The Chest
• Tightening In The Throat
• Dizziness

The role Triptans play in releasing migraine pain is due to the affect triptans have on the restriction of blood vessels or the narrowing of them to prevent them from enlarging and creating migraine pain. Though narrowing is part of their job, it can also have a reverse effect by not only narrowing the arteries in the head but also create a narrowing of the arteries in the heart. This becomes increasingly dangerous for those individuals that have already experienced some form of coronary narrowing. The narrowing caused by the triptans could lead to further narrowing resulting in a heart attack or stroke.

For those looking for a safer more natural approach to treating migraine headaches pay close attention to the following bullet points.
