I have severe neck pain and migraines and do not take medication. When my migraine is really bad then I drink coffee. The caffeine in it helps a LOT. Neck pain, I have nikken back brace thing and necklace that halls prevent it, but when I have it, I turn to ibuprofen and Tylenol.

I was also prescribed with topamax last summer and ended up being admitted to the hospital for a couple weeks for malnutrition due to losing my appetite.vSo I suggest keeping track of you appetite and how much you are eating.
