Suggest Medicines For Migraines During Pregnancy

I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have chronic migraines. I use Zomig because of how bad they get and how long they last. The only other thing that works is Excedrin and I have heard that I should not take it while I am pregnant. Tylenol does not work and I am not scheduled to see my doctor until next month, what can I do?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
It is a bit difficult situation as at an early stage of pregnancy, many medicines can not be used.
I will suggest to avoid factors that precipitate migraine. Do not over exert, do not be empty stomach for long hours.
I will suggest use of Tab PARAMET as needed and take it as soon as you start getting pre migraine symptoms.
I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements .
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
