My experience-Medicine Change Help
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting but I really need some advice. For some background, I have chronic migraines, bilateral Occipital Neuralgia, and bilateral Hemicrania Continua, though the right side is always worse for both those. I’m allergic to triptans (sumatriptan, etc.) as well as caffeine (can’t even have chocolate). The allergies limit what types of migraine meds I can take. I also get bilateral occipital nerve block every two months (litacane/novacane (spelling?) mixture). For the last 4 1/2 - five years I’ve been on Zonisamide 300mgs a day.
Within the last month I was weened off Zonisamide 300mg dude to the discovery of a stable kidney stone and weened onto Nadolol. Nadolol wasn’t doing enough and was costing $50 a month for the script (insurance doesn’t cover it) so I ask see to be put back on Zonisamide because it works, that I would risk the kidney stone. Everything was fine in the weening back on process until this past week, the day before I started taking 300mgs again. I started breaking out in a rash on different areas of my body. Upper thighs, under bust, lower abdomen, little on the elbows, a few on the back on the calves; they look like mosquito bites of varying sizes. Some of them are incredibly itchy but most of the time I don’t know they’re there until check. The odd thing is they come and go; at some points during the day they’ll be more visible whereas other times during the day they’ll have retreated and my skin will be smoother; you can hardly see where they were. But later on I’ll break out again around the same are with slightly different sized mosquito bite looking raised areas.
My neuro wants me to go off Zonisamide AGAIN, but I just got back on it, I’m finally feeling a bit better in the migraine department, I just spent a MONTH going off it then back on, and at this point I don’t know what med we could try next because they’re either something I’m allergic to or they’re not covered by my insurance.
TL;DR I was taken off Zonisamide, put back on it, now I had a mosquito bite looking rash on different parts of my body that comes and goes throughout the day. I was wondering, has anyone experienced this? Will the rash/itching go away? Can anyone recommend medications that don’t contain triptains or caffeine that I could look up and see if they’re covered by my insurance?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!
