Sorry I am just a patient. I have been on MP for 5 years and I have only had 1 mild migrain in that time. I have had migrains since I was a teenager and they were getting worse. There are lots of studies showing that ARBs such as benicar can treat migrains. Dr Marsahll has reported this in one of his recent videos.

Petr, I just read Meg's response to a patient regarding the use of Imitrex, which is a Triptan. You can see it here (scroll to August 14, 2008). Meg recommended adjusting Benicar and abx dosing one at a time before trying Imitrex, but did not say it was contraindicated.
Here's another link to read about migraines.
And finally, a thread called Imitrex.
I didn't find informatin re: the other Triptans, but also didn't look.
You can do a search on the MP site for migraines, medications, etc.
Good luck!
Alayne

Thank you both for reply, Trevor and Alayne. I will try to study this subject as much as I can. Problem of my friend is that she interrupted MP after phase 1 to try some antiparasitic treatment (she was diagnosed with terrible load of this) and after some doses of Cesol (Prasiquantel) and consequently Zentel (Albendazole) with a delay of about 1-2 month came terrible migraines. I assume these could be reactions on dying parasites and their necrosis and consequent IP reactions to this. Also her blood pressure came very unstable to very high levels inspite of 4!!! pressure meds taken. Only Triptans seem to helpe her terible migrans.
She is trying to get back on MP, and understands now more, that slow and steady on MP means more clever than some quick solutions...which bring higer risks. Regards, Petr

This is my own personal experience. I was taking Relpax (a triptan) for migraines, sometimes 6-8 times per month, instead of the max 3 times recommended. It usually worked very well. Between Relpax doses, I took Tylenol 3 and ibuprofen and many others. I also had botox injections for the migraines, which gave relief for a few months. The headaches were almost constant.
I took Relpax only once after being on benicar only a few days. It did absolutely nothing. I think the Benicar somehow made the Relpax ineffective. Anyhow, I have not needed any triptans anymore. The benicar has prevented most of my migraines. I now take Tylenol 3 and ibuprofen the rare time I have a bad enough headache, and they work well enough.
Dr. Blaney says, "The patients that have the most spectacular initial responses to the MP are often those with severe headaches. I’ve had some patients whose headaches disappeared the moment they started Benicar." http://bacteriality.com/2007/10/31/blaney/
I also had vascular sinus pain, and that is better, too.
Petr, I hope your friend feels better soon. Slow and steady is the way to do it. It sure takes a lot of patience and understanding.
