Is there an alternative to Pizotifen
Posted , 2 users are following.
Does anyone know if there is an alternative to pizotifen. I have been taken it for a year now and although I have responded very well, the weigth gain is a problem, I have gained nearly 2 stone.
Stopping the medication is not an option, I have tried it but migraines come staight back.

The Dr. has now prescribed Amitriptyline tablets today on the lowest dose of 10mg. I have not started taking them yet, but watch this space! The only possible problem with these is that it can make you crave sugar - sweets, therefore weight gain again
But it can also have the opposite effect and suppress appetite. *Fingers crossed that it's the latter.* And of course, has other possible side effects as all medication does.
The tablets are mainly used to treat depression, but are also used for several other problems, such as a migraine preventative. I'm desperate and will try anything.
