I have tried to reduce my dose, but the migraines come back with renewed avengeance! I currently take 1.5mg a day though I have only been taking this much for about 3 months. For the previous 3 years I managed on just 1.0mg. I really don't like taking drugs every day, but I can't function without it.
I am currently taking Migrafew as well (a herbal remedy) and am hoping that after a few months I can start to reduce the Pizotifen with the aim of stopping it altogether.
As for the weight problem, I'm about 2 stone heavier than I was before. Trouble is, the tablets say that this is because it increases your appetite, and this was certainly true at first, but this has gone now. Still can't lose the weight. I was wondering if any of you ladies had stopped taking Pizotifen and then found the added weight dropped off. Here's hoping.
