After about 2 years I discovered it was actually the Catapres and when I stopped that my stomach problems decreased dramatically and I noticed no increase in pain....just my experience, but what I've learned is to be much more vigilant about determining whether or not each and every pill I put in my mouth is helping more than hindering!

This combination was effective for me in preventing migraine. A neurologist was the specialist who prescribed this quite some years ago.
