I have been put on this drug to treat, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. Can anyone that has been on this give me any good or bad feedback on the drug, also what is chronic paroxysmal hemicrania?
This quote is taken from "wikipedia" Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH), also known as 'Sjaastad syndrome,' is a cluster-like headache that normally affects females. It normally consists of multiple severe yet short headache attacks. These attacks normally will only affect one side of the cranium, hence the term hemicrania. CPH headaches are treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in particular indomethacin, which is usually totally effective in eliminating the symptoms.
Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania is basically a "regular" short term persistent headache on one side of the head. It is also known as Sjaastad syndrome for the person who described it. Indomethacin is the medication that has been indicated for this condition because of its anti-inflammatory effect as well as decreasing the blood flow inside the cranium or head to lower the effects of the impulses generated on the trigeminal nerves that cause sympathetic and parasympathetic effects. In other words, indomethacin, which is an NSAID or analgesic is found to be the best so far in treating this medication.
