@lisalucier I’m not sure where to post exactly regarding Hypnic Headaches? I did make two posts to various other people, but please feel free to move my post to wherever they should be. I may be the most recent person to the group of hypnic headaches. All I want to add is that I’ve done the same medication as everyone else and the latest thing I have done is to get 31 shots of Botox to my head forehead, back of head, the neck, etc. to hopefully reduce the amount of head pains I get. The only medicine I am currently using when necessary at night has been rizatriptan. For years, I did take Fiorcet which actually helped and very quickly. I never had any side effects from it. I had to recently stop using it because I built up an immunity to it. now, hoping for success with the Botox shots. My neurologist said that with each round every three months, it becomes more and more effective.

@duchess926 - you are in exactly the right spot, as you are posting in this discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect:

I don't personally have headaches, but I do have allergies and asthma, and I've had the experience when suddenly a trusty medication no longer works for you. Such a bummer. Is the rizatriptan you use at night as needed helpful? Are you at a sufficient distance from your injections to know if this treatment is working for you?
