Metoclopramide: I first discovered this drug as a treatment for migraines almost 15 years ago. I went to the ER in the early stages of a major migraine. The Dr. told me they were trying this drug as a treatment for migraines. Over time I discovered that the drug worked really well but only if it were used in the early stages of a migraine incident. For me it must be taken with the onset of an aura and early but escalating pain. I have learned to inject myself with 2cc IM with a repeat in 3-4 hours. If I get the shot in time it will totally defeat the migraine. If I miss that window of opportunity I don't bother taking the med. It will not be effective and is a waste of an expensive medication. Since I have chronic migraines I now carry an ampule, syringe and needle with me almost all the time. After many years of searching and trying things I have finally found an answer to my migraines.
Metoclopramide: This drug worked wonders for me. I had been sick passing blood on both ends. It stopped everything. My only complaints is that it made me feel very weak, and it was a little hard remembering to take it 30 minutes before eating. I highly recommend it.
