Cannabis and Migraine
    #541692 - 03/30/11 01:31 PM (13 years, 10 months ago)

Hi

I suffer from chronic migraine. Currently I use magic mushrooms to abort migraines and they work wonders most of the time but this only works when I have a migraine and it can not be used for the prevention of migraine. I have tried various medications to try to prevent migraine but they were horrible and they didn't work. Some almost killed me (and the doctors had the nerve to tell me off for using mushrooms?!?!!?).

Does anyone here have much experience with using cannabis as a way to prevent migraines? If so then how well does it work for you and what dosage do you use?

Any information would be very much appreciated.

I saw a few posts around the interwebz in which people said that when they smoke cannabis the frequency of their migraines is reduced. I want to see if any more people agree. Cannabis relaxes muscles etc and often when I feel a migraine coming on I can feel vessels in my head spasm and my eye twitches. I'm wondering if cannabis will help counter this.

I'm browsing medical strains at the moment. Apparently indica is better for medicinal use. However, getting my hands on a medical strain in Australia could be hard. I know where I can get some clones but I am unsure  what the strain is and the person who could help is unsure either = /

I take caffeine and aspirin first as it works well a lot of the time and I can get on with my day. If that doesn't work then I take mushies which almost never fails me. However, if it does fail to work then I'm in excruciating pain from 1 to 3 days. Everything seems too bright, too loud and strong smells also hurt. I get nausea too and I struggle to speak properly as migraines can mimic a stroke.

Yeah, when one has a migraine then blood vessels in the head are dilated so they need to be constricted again which is what caffeine and psilocybin do. This is good for an abortive medication but what I'm looking for is a preventative medication because I get so many migraines.

I've tried numerous medications whose side effects included serious cardiac reactions, suicidal thoughts, fatigue, no sex drive, cotton mouth, dizziness and blurred vision. It's a process of elimination for me and I tried doing the "right thing" by going to doctors first but they either gave me horrible medications that didn't work, fobbed me of and said there was nothing they could do or treat me like some doctor shopping junkie who was after opiates or something.

Be careful if you're taking a lot of paracetamol and codeine etc otherwise you can end up getting rebound headaches. They're also quite hard on the liver.

Have you ever tried taking caffeine and aspirin? I find this is quite good at aborting a migraine.

Also, what other medications have you tried using for it?

Mine are triggered by the weather which sucks big time because I have no control over it. I'm just recovering from an epic migraine at the moment. Thank God for shrooms!
