Taking 32mg candesartan/atacand for migraines for 6 months. normal weight and bp history. botox fixed the migraines. how do i wean off the bp meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully.: YOu need to see your doctor that prescribed the meds. If the botox fixed your headache that is very good . You will still need to taper off the meds.See your doctor to get the directions in how to do this.Be alert as the fix for the migraines may be temporal . IN other words they may come back. Best wishes.
