I have been in a cycle 2 weeks now. My 3rd ER trip was this morning, an hr after waking. I was painfree (with heavy clouds) for 2 days until this am. Last Sat I started 4mg dosepack of Methylprednisolone and Troxadol, finished the mpred 2 days ago. That seemed to work, being that I was pain free for 2 days.

My question is about combinations. Has anyone had this combination, in these doses and what were side effects and did it work. They wanted to put me on Lithium, but the last time I was on it with Sansert, I had the shakes so bad. Here is what I am taking:

Dosepack of Prednisone pills (10mg) should last about a week. Also to take one Verapamil pill (240mg) per day. Also to take Zomig (zolmitriptan) as soon as pain begins, but advised not to take if more than 30 minutes after pain started.

I had a shot of Imitrex at ER. Made me very short of breath, tight throat and changed a #9 CH to a #9 headache of a sort I have never experienced--No repeated stabbing, just constant stab for 1 hr. Then I am at #1, but very tired, heavy clouds still there.

Sorry so long, but any info much appreciated.
