Nortriptyline
"This past Jan. 2012, at the age of 50, I had two strokes, one attributed to my chronic migraines and the other from taking birth control pills for too many years.  I have had migraines for over 10 years, and just before my stroke this year, I was having anywhere from 3 to 7 migraines a week.  My neurologist prescribed Nortriptyline about 4 weeks ago.  I have not had a single migraine since I started this medicine.  I feel better than I have in years.  I pray the medicine continues to work for me.  The only side effect that I have noticed thus far is that sometimes my hands shakes a little.  I hope that I can take this medicine for a long time.  It's nice being migraine free!"
