Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease in which pain is only one possible component. Migraine attacks without pain are called acephalgic Migraines.

Because Migraine is very individualized among patients, so is treatment. Headache specialists recommend an abortive medicine to stop the Migraine process. DHE and triptans are two classes of medicine that abort Migraines.

Pain medicine and medications that work on pain receptors often are the cause of Migraineurs becoming affected by another condition called Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) also known as rebound. Unfortunately, DHE, triptans, butalbital, tylenol, NSAIDs, opioids (narcotics) and many other medicines can also cause the changes in the brain that result in MOH.

Additionally, these medicines are known to be a part of the transition from episodic Migraine (occasional attacks) to chronic Migraine (headache 15 or more days per month). Certain members of this group of medicines such as butalbital and acetaminophen are known for being especially bad at causing MOH and transformation from episodic to chronic Migraine and should be avoided.

Stress has been removed by the International Headache Society as a trigger for Migraine.

Butalbital, is very effective in combination with asperin or tylenol, especially for migraines caused by stress.

The best medications for headache relief is natural medication. Some people aren't willing to take meds to relief minor problems such as headaches unless the headache is extreme enough. However, natural medication includes getting enough sleep, eating right, and not having much to no stress.

Are headaches common while taking Triphasil for birth control and Effexor for anxiety or depression?

I don't know what the correlation is between birth control and anxiety/depression medication but I do know that one of the side effects of taking the birth control pill is headaches, especially when you first start taking it. I agree with anonymous above, headaches is a common side effect when first taking the pill. I am on my second pack and my headaches can get pretty bad. As far as the anxiety/depression medication, you might want to ask your doctor but if the doctor prescribed your pills knowing you were on that medication you might be fine because they prescribe the pill that would be right for you based on your medical history. ask your Dr or pharmacist. i take both, and i do get bad headaches sometimes. headaches and migraines are a side effect of Effexor also, along w/ the pill I believe that headaches/migraines occur with Effexor especially if you don't take it close to the same time every day. Being off by just a little bit seemed to cause major headaches and nausea when I was on it. Withdrawal.
