Antihistamine and headaches

Hi Everyone!! I just wanted to share some info with you. I was getting almost daily chiari headaches and taking advil 2-3 times a day to help with them. Then my allergist put me on Periactin for my allergies, and he mentioned that sometimes it's used for headaches as well. Well, I don't know if I've even had one headache sine then, besides usual stress headaches, and my migraine doctor has been really happy with the way it's helped me.

I just wanted to pass it along, I was actually shocked at how well it's helped, even though my chiari symptoms are pretty mild to begin with. I thought the medication might help with my migraines, but not my chiari headaches as well. Maybe this info can help someone else so I wanted to share!!

Hi There!!!

Thanks for the info!!!!

I take Claratin every day for my allergies. It definitely helps me, too.

Will look into it. Thanks!
