Dec. 22, 2003 -- New research suggests that the epilepsy drug Neurontin is effective for preventing chronic daily headaches, but headache experts contacted by WebMD remain unconvinced. In the Australian study, patients with chronic daily headaches treated with Neurontin had 9% fewer headache days per month than patients given placebo treatments. Although the study subjects had 2. 7 less headache days per month when they took the epilepsy drug, this was only a modest improvement over the 2. 3 fewer headache days per month experienced by patients unknowingly taking the dummy pills, suggesting a placebo effect.'Not a First-Line Choice' A person who has 15 or more days with headaches per month or more than four hours per day for a period of at least six months meets the definition for chronic daily headache, regardless of whether they have migraines, tension headaches, or headaches due to another cause."In my opinion, [Neurontin] is not a first-line choice for preventing chronic daily headaches," headache specialist Stephen Silberstein, MD, tells WebMD."This is one of the few studies ever done on a treatment to prevent daily headaches, so it was important to publish it. prevacid and weight gain around middle prevacid causes diarhea or constipation prevacid 15 mg price dgl prevacid prevacid pediatric
