I'm also feeling a slight ache in the back of my head, but I don't now if it's related to our drastic weather/barometric pressure change here lately or not.

Two major ones being daily sinus pain/problems and sexual side effects. | I started taking 100 mg the 1st week at night and now I am taking 200 mg also at night. | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 6/28/2005 | 5 | migraine | on 50 mg at bedtime , Iam experiencing some trouble falling asleep.Itake it 4 hours before sleep and this helped relieve my insomnia.. | really working great for migraines, and nothing else has, as a preventative.I have been on it one month.I usually experience daily headaches and take imitrex for them.
