Anika,

My response has nothing to do with the meds you are on or trying to be off, but with headaches in general. The more hydrated you are, the better. Electrolytes solution provides a higher degree of hydration than H2O alone. I get mine from a product called Vitalyte. It was developed many years ago by a marathoner and biochemist Bill Gookin, whom I know just a little bit to be awestruck - he is so physically active in his golden years, even though he needs a cane now. The product is better than others I have tried - it has a wonderful clean taste, just a little sour to my liking. Immediate absorption from the stomach (unlike water). Out of 4 flavors, 1 is bad - orange, the others are equally good. To my taste - you can order free samples. One glass contains 40 calories, but for an anorexic this should not be a problem. Does not contain questionable artificial sweeteners. I try to drink throughout the day to avert my migraines, and if a headache is starting, I would drink three glassfuls in one sitting and then more after a while. It truly is a solution (no pun intended) for a migraineur like me.

I hope this helps.
