I have seen many people that have taken this medication. I just actually met with a lady who had chronic headaches from a car accident and MD's gave her this med. It totally changed her life the negative making her suicidal, depressed, has chronic GI issues and feels worse than she ever has.

From years of working with clients, I have found headaches to come from:

1. Straight cervical spine or forward head posture
2. Chronically chewing on one side of mouth
3. Using a phone without an earpiece, carrying a bag on one side, etc, creating a side tilt and rotation in the cervical spine
4. Chronic computer use
5. Lack of stretching or getting weekly massages
6. Dehydration
7. Poor nutrition leading to blood sugar handling issues
8. Inability to handle stress in one's life and not adapting any principles to work through them
9. Altered amino acid sequences in the body = poor AA and NT formation
10. Taking Rx meds, as well as synthetic supps
11. Home and office toxins

In chinese medicine, headaches can come from:
1. Liver yang rising to the head
2. Heat in the blood from food or emotions
3. Wind pathogens getting into the body or being stirred up internally by negative emotions

What to do:
1. Review the side effects of the meds you are taking
2. Start drinking half your body weight in food per day
3. Begin adapting quiet time or meditation into your day
4. Watch your posture and get your workstation ergonomically checked
5. Eliminate gluten, sugar, NaCl, flour and pasteurized milk
6. Do a home and office toxic check list
7. Get regular trigger point massages
8. Get a full assessment by a CHEK Practitioner Level 3 or higher (www.chekinstitute.com). AS well as a full nutrition and lifestyle assessment by a CHEK Holistic and Lifestyle Coach Level 2 or higher
9. Get some acupuncture treatments
