Re : Migraine Headaches
No one should have to suffer migraines without proper therapy. I have several
suggestions. First if possible, she needs to see a physician, perhaps a
neurologist. Medications she can take while breastfeeding that are efficacious
in migraines (with due caution for the beta blockers) include:
Amitriptyline(TCAs), propranolol, metoprolol, Codeine, Imitrex, Fiorinal. Do
not use the ergot alkaloids (Cafergot).
