Migraine attacks symptoms and conditions

I am 39 and have had true migraine attacks since I was a child. I say true migraine attacks because they are different then just a bad headache! The pain, throwing up, dry heaves and weird aura are "hell on earth!" I have noticed that if my headache isn't a true migraine and I take the Imitrex, the side affect are ten times worse! Reading a lot of the messages on this site makes me wonder if doctors are prescribing it for the common bad headaches! There are side effects either way but much worse if the headache is not a true migraine. My side effects have been neck pressure,sleepiness, queasiness, and very sore arm pain. But it is not worse than the migraine so I take it when needed. I do not recommend cutting this pill in half! God Bless the migraine sufferers! I know how the torture feels!

Fatigue, flashing in the left eye, worsening migraines:
I have been on Arimidex since July, 2007 (after lumpectomy in January 2007, chemo, a mastectomy in same breast in August, 2007 followed by radiation) and seemed to be tolerating it quite well, except for the fact that I wanted to go to bed at no later than 9PM every night.
Recently, however, I had noticed retinal problems in my left eye (could also be a result of my nearsightedness and my age --61) and worsening migraine attacks which I could not relieve completely with my usual medications. I did research on Google and found that Arimidex could indeed lead to worsening of headaches and perhaps lead to retinopathy as well.
This morning I decided not to take the pill and called my oncologist's office to find out what he thinks about stopping it for a while.
I have also made an appointment with a neurologist since I haven't had a brain MRI since 1987 (to rule out other causes than migraine for my headaches).

started taking simvastatin 3 months ago after having a stroke straight away started feeling nausea and diarrhea was told at the time while still in hospital it was probably the tablets but nothing was done about it, since then i have been back to the docs twice, had 2 different types of anti sickness pills, none have worked, which is worse when awaking in the mornings, when i run gagging to the toilet, plus diarrhea tablets, which i am having to take at least 3 to 4 times a week, was told i could not stop taking the simvastatain tablets as i needed them, surly i am not supposed to live my life feeling constantly sick and the rest of the time sat on the toilet, plus panic attacks and depression of which i am also on medication for and my migraine attacks have gotten worse. and a awful taste in my mouth all the time all in all not a happy bunny

hello.. wow.. this site is unreal i mean i never found this UNTILL after starting yaz.. iv been on it for only like 7 days and from the 4th day iv started having terrible "head squeezing" "migraine" & attacks.. feel "nausiated" and "irratable".. i went on this at the advise of my obgyn after delivery of my baby..my major purpose was to get rid of the excess "hair growth" etc "due" to "PCOS".. ill be visiting my doc today to see was else she can advise instead of yasmin.. its funny how they prove to be synthetic ingredients and with least or no side effects.. what a load of bull****!

i encountered this site when i specifically searched for yasmin side effects. i could not believe it when i have read all the posts and how relieved i was to realize i wasn't dying or that i wasn't crazy. for the last 2 years i really wondered what was wrong with me, and i spent a fortune trying to find out to the extent that i underwent tumor marker tests last year for my thyroid. i was losing weight erratically, my migraine attacks were severe i literally became an invalid for a week. i haven't slept a goodnight's rest in 2 years, and only last week i thought i was sufferring a heart attack. all along i attributed it to stress at work, stress over my 2-year custody battle over my kids, and many other things. i did yoga, did a lot of meditation thinking i might be emotionally imbalanced. i wake up in the morning wanting to die, i wake up in the middle of the night with this god-awful feeling every time, and i thought that i might be one of those perenially depressed. i really took a good look about my life last week when i was down with severe migraine, nausea, body aches, heart palpitations, diarrhea and depression. what was causing this? nothing in my life, not with work, my kids are with me, i have a wonderful guy who puts through my moods and horrible temper, and a friend said the operative word, hormones. and bingo. this site came along. i came off yasmin 3 days ago after reading the posts. called my trusted doc from home and she confirmed this to be true. i am now sufferring heavy bleeding, i ache all over, and have teriible migraines. i read about withdrawal symptoms but not much. i hope i feel better soon. i wish that more doctors will know about this. and more women. this drug destroys lives.

My daughter started singulair 2005 she has been taking it for 2yrs. She was 7 yrs old now 9yrs old. She get headache all the time and she started with her hands making a fist then making her fingers touch and rub her fingers. Now she has stop soing that and her eyes are blinking all the time. And a tic from her eyes she can not stop. I got on line to see if other kids have experience this yes so maybe it is the drug singulair that brought it on. I ask that doctors if this was a tic and she said it probably was, but now I feel that it is singulair.
