mirtazapine, pregabalin, zolpidem
« on: January 02, 2012, 11:31:46 PM »
I'm currently on mirtazapine a high dose (morning and night)  pregabalin and zolpidem every night.  At night I take them all together.  I have started getting one massive migraine a week.  Doesn't sound bad but its affecting me badly at work.  Could this be due to any of these meds or the fact I take them all in one go at night?  anyone else get migraines on any of these meds?

Pregabalin is morning and night, all the others only night.  Wondering if migraine due to stress and moods

I take mirtazapine and have taken zolpidem with it before and never had migraines with them.
Have you suffered from migraines before or is it something new since starting that combination of meds? Is it worth asking your gp if it could be due to the meds or if there is anything she can give you to help with the migraines?
