Feeling odd

[lougle]

I get migraines quite frequently. I recently started taking nortriptyline to try and prevent them (I had in the past taken metoprolol and amitryptiline, but I got to the point where I was in and out of hospital because I passed out all the time).

I started on 10 mg and raised it to 20mg on New Years Day. Taking it slowly to monitor migraine pattern.

Today I've had a migraine, and I took a maxalt melt (rizatriptan) and went to bed for an hour or so. The migraine lifted.

Now I have been feeling 'spacey' and disconnected for the last hour or so. Not constantly, but in waves. Sometimes fine, but sometimes get a rushing sound in my ears and feel like I could pass out, but don't.

Is it the after effect of the migraine, or could it be medication related? 20mg of nortriptyline is a low dose and I take it at night, so it's almost 24 hours since I've had any.

I had that after taking maxalt Lougle.
I think it can be a side effect.
I also used to take amitriptylone too but they only effect it has was to make me very groggy next morning.

Perhaps it is. It's been a while since I've taken maxalt. I've been taking sumatriptan until recently, which gave me jaw/neck pain and mugginess, but never faint.

How are you today Lougle?

I'm a bit heady, badvoc, but the other symptoms have gone, thank you.
