My naturopath actually listens, asks questions, and looks to resolve the issues.

I lived with daily headaches and having a migraine once a week for 3 years because a doc wouldn't believe me about them and so even when I changed docs due to moving, I didn't even tell him about the headaches. Then a week long migraine I finally broke and told him and he believed me. Worked with me with meds until we found the right combo.<BR/>I was taking paxil for Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497380417236531321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28932372.post-81601470931871782602009-02-07T09:18:00.000-06:002009-02-07T09:18:00.000-06:00What depression meds are you on?

Sometimes one would work, but sometimes I would have to take the actual precribed dosage (2 at the start of the headache, then 1 every 4 hours until it was gone).

TELL them that you've tried OTC remedies and insist on something else to try. Both Art and I, and now our 14 year old son have migraine headaches and all three of us have Rx's for Imitrex. It works well enought to let us feel like we can function.<BR/>I'm sorry you're hurting. Migraine medications are often effective.
