my own medical history
Jan. 18th, 2005 09:55 amThis is mostly a note to myself, before I forget this. More fun stuff to follow soon.
The anti-migraine drugs I was put on as an adolescent were not muscle relaxants, as I've believed for about 20 years now, but one of the ergot derivatives. Fortunately they worked (and when I say worked, I mean that after about a week of taking it, I didn't have any more headaches until my 20's), because my doctor failed to tell anyone about the rebound effect.
