Hello Kara,
I have had a lot of trouble with headaches in general. I haven't tried
lupron. I've been on Depo-Provera for about 3 1/2 years. the only
thing OTC that works for me is Excedrin. Both Excedrin & Excedrin
Migraine have the same ingredients, so they both work the same. it is
wonderful. If I can take 2 and go to sleep for an hour, the headache is
usually gone when I wake up, or atleast mostly. I can even take it at
work and be feeling better in a few hours. Give it a shot. I thought
only prescription drugs would work, but this stuff is a close second.
Hope you feel better soon! - Chelle
