DS is 14 and has been getting migraines on and off for a few years. Really thought he was growing out of them as he hadn't had one for months but he has had 4 since last Wednesday.
He is missing a lot of school and obv that is not ideal with GCSEs next year. In fact he has one GCSE next week.
So took him to GP earlier and she prescribed Pixotifen. Having now researched it I am a bit concerned about side effects. He is tall and currently skinny but doesn't eat particularly well so I know if he does have increased appetite he will eat more rubbish as much as I might want him to eat healthy stuff! I'm also concerned about tiredness and brain fog which can also be a side effect.
Not sure whether to let him start the Pixotifen or not.
