Olmesartan for Migraine Prevention Reviews
Benicar (olmesartan) "Benicar has been a 'wonder' drug for me. It is the only BP medication that my body will tolerate. I have been on this drug for 10 years. Not only has it stabilized my BP (the original reason it was prescribed for me), but I have ceased having migraine headaches. I haven't even had any regular headaches since I began taking Benicar."
Benicar (olmesartan) "Took it for about a year for migraines after trying several different other treatments. Stopped migraines and tapered off the drug and no more headaches, that was over ten years ago and still don't have migraines."
"Suffered severe crippling migraines on a regular basis, doctor put me on Olmesartan 40mg 3 times a day, and the migraines gradually went away completely. Tapered off, the migraines came back. Started back on, migraines went away again. I do not have high bloodpressure, and taking Olmesartan have only lowered my blood pressure slightly. Been on Olmesartan now for 4 years."
"I take 20mg, 3x/day and it seems to work even better than amlodipine at 20 mg/day for me. I haven't had a migraine in weeks. Great medication. Thinking about trying to switch to telmisartan eventually for its other health benefits."
Benicar (olmesartan) "Taking for high blood pressure. Now I know why my migraines have gone away almost completely. Also, the best blood pressure medicine I have found for me. No side effects for me."
