Hi, my name is Kayla.  I had my first migraine headache when I was 7 years old.  I wasn't sure what is was; but, later I was told what it was.  My mom, grandma, and sister all have suffered with migraines.  I get them in clusters of a few headaches at a time, and then it may be another month before I have another one.  I am now 26, and I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in June of this year.  I have had quite a difficult time trying to find the right amount of medication to take in order to monitor my seizures.  I now take Trileptal 300mg 5 times a day, and I have been seizure free for a week!!  When I had my first seizure, I also had a very bad migraine headache earlier that day.  Since then, I have not had another migraine headache.  This is probably a record for me.  Does anyone know if seizure medication can also help reduce the occurance of migraine headaches?  Thanks a lot!
