Insomnia might be an acceptable side effect, if only it cured the migranes. Yes, I am taking beta-blockers—for me there are no noticeable side effects, and I while it would be better to stop migranes without drugs, its far better to use drugs than to have migranes, unless the side effects are really bad.
The psychedelics look promising, I’ll have to keep an eye on that. But they’re illegal in the UK for any purposes. I’d definitely keep the dose sub-psychedelic.
A quick search indicates that the ‘legal highs’ have now been made illegal, so that isn’t a loophole.
BTW, where about in the UK are you from?
TMS also looks promising, so I’m definitely going to ask my doctor about that. I’ll also try and get one of the home use ones, if its not too expensive.
I think there are places that do TMS in Bath and London. Its £500 for a prescription TMS hat last time I looked.
By the way, have you found anything particularly effective beyond the usual recommendations?
Beta blockers work well enough for me. I havn’t tried diet or TMS, and most of the other drugs didn’t work, and/or had really bad side effects.
I’m from london, so I might check out some places near here, if that’s cheaper. And yeah, insomnia would be acceptable if it got rid of the migraines, but no such luck. What were the side effects, by the way?
Well, I’m taking it, and nothing much has happened so far. I’m due to up the dose in a few days, and I should be off it in a month. So, I think it better to err on the side of caution. Maybe after I’m done with it, and tried a few other things out, we can swap notes?

Do you really want to know the side effects I got from Amitiptyline and risk the placebo effect?
Or is my simply writing this dangerous?
Bloody information hazards.

Seems wise.
