I cann't use either of these.  Weird, but they make my migraines worse.
Most meds act opposite with me.  Right now they are giving me Darvon and
Prednisone with a little funky muscle relaxer (name...duh..cann't recall) to
try to un-stick my spasmed neck from the car accident.  It's not doing much
for the neck but man talk about no sleep....
