[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 3214908, member: 42957"] Some women experience migraines associated with hormone fluctuations during their menstrual cycles. Sometimes they cease or go into remission after pregnancy and after menopause. True migraines are caused by vascular constriction in parts of the brain. A positive response to drugs such as sumatriptan, rizatriptan benzoate (Maxalt) etc is diagnostic. These drugs cause the release of serotonin stored in certain brain cells. The repeated use of these drugs without allowing re-accumulations of stored serotonin can result in ‘refractory’ migraines that are more difficult to treat. Drugs that specifically stimulate serotonin release may cause associated drowsiness. However, there is no euphoria, physical or mental impairment as caused by opioids or narcotics. The aftermath of a severe migraine may leave a person exhausted. It’s unfortunate that migraine medications are expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
