Yes, I have Raynauds and chronical migraines.
I'm in treatment by a Neurologist for it.
She prescribed me Depakote and I've been on it for more than 4 months now.
It has done miracles, haven't gotten a migraine in ages.

Definitely worth considering or asking about it+It doesn't affect my Raynauds at all.
Depakote is an anti-seizure med.

i tried topamax and hated it.. it made my mouth dry and head feel weird.. i only get 3-4 migraines a month so i rather not be on a daily pill.. i was just curious if it was safe to take zomig occassionally with raynauds... whenever i have taken it i have never noticed a flare with raynauds

Val, see my other post relating to this and meditation.

I also have Raynauds/migraines and am neuro treated.

I have taken topomax(hated it-off now)and have used treximet(no generic),imitrex(generic available) and maxalt(no generic).

I have never had an issue either.

hey Kim,,
I spoke to my sister and she worked for doctors for years ( she is a therapist). anyway, she said they have to put those warnings on drugs even if it only harmed 1 person...  she reminded me of women who drink alcohol while taking birth control--that is a major no -no.. but most women do it anyway and are fine..

i have been taking it for a few years--never had any problems...thanks for responding. i appreciate it...)
