Re: Life's Little Annoyances

The fact that I never know how I'm going to react to caffeine because sometimes my migraine med makes the caffeine effects worse. Then I get shaky and have a headache. But other times I'm fine. And there are just times when I need caffeine, like today when I had to be a perky attorney at a bar association meeting on 2 hours of sleep and then do 2 hours of Spanish class. But I'm paying for it because I'm still wired hours later and my head is pounding.

Also the same migraine med, which I started a few months ago, causes weight gain and hunger. So now I'm having to fight against that effect, and I'm trying to lose weight, but has been impossible so far. I've cut back on what I'm eating even when I feel hungry, but it isn't doing anything.

And sadly, there are no better options. The one I switched from to this one actually can cause weight loss. But it caused my birth control shot to stop working, leading to a month long period with agonizing pain to the point I couldn't function. So that's simply not doable.

Are you taking Effexor by any chance? It isn't exactly a migraine med but some neurologists lately have decided it is and that quality of life shouldn't be a factor in their patients' treatment and a medicine that actually triggers migraines is ok if it also has the chance of cutting a few hours of of one or two headache cycles. That was my experience, anyway. I had to fight my doctor about it but he put me back on Imitrex injections since he was leaving the practice anyway and my new doctor switched me to Maxalt (sp?).

I'm trying to change my diet and so I'm using a nutrition app to track meals. I have found sugar hiding everywhere! I found 18g of sugar in 100ml of semi-skimmed milk, 23g in a slice of bread, and any processed meat sets off the app's alarms for all the no-no stuff. I hardboil a dozen eggs and eat one or two whenever I want a snack and it's the only way I've been able to manage my weight without activating my sweet tooth and ultimately putting on an extra 10lbs instead of taking it off.

No, I believe the brand name for it is Depakote. The generic I have is Valprolic Acid. The one I was on before was Topiramate.

Sweet things are my weakness. Which is hard, because I can't cut them completely. If I remove all sweet things from my house, I'll eventually be craving too much and go out somewhere and buy a bunch to binge eat. But I'm also not great at moderating and making great choices when I feel hungry.

I could have written that entire second part :(

I hope the meds are working for you and wish you luck with your weight goals!
