I went to a neurologist, and he told me i had migraines and not a tumor issue, than he prescribed me some kind of migraine medications i refuse to take. This makes no sense to me, since i never had an MRI done, i told him about the history of cancer and how i had a tumor, and that the pain im getting is from the same site as the old one. I also explained that i have vertigo, and sleep issues. He just said it was migraines and prescribed away. Think i need a new neuro

Amytryptiline. I cant think of a single thing either online or from other people that is good about the med. They had given it to me years ago for some other reason i took it ONCE, and it felt like i had been roofied

I think that's an older antidepressant.

Sometimes prescribed for migraines. Cheaper than newer stuff.

I'd avoid heavy duty meds (as you seem to be).

i just wanted the damn MRI to know if i need another resection or not, but their first goto was to prescribe me meds. Annoyed me to no end

Try to find a direct care doctor. Many are happy to sign off on just about any testing because they get paid the same either way. You will have to pay full price for the MRI in many cases but, full cash price is often much less than what is commonly quoted because the insurance prices are set to astronomical rates and then "discounted" so you can see how much you "saved" by paying for your jewsurance. May not be the best route but, I'd look into it if I was you, depending on the practice there can be lots of other benefits. Mine gives meds at his cost and does simple health maintenance things via phone, text, or email. Best of all, when I do go in, I can talk to him for more than 37 seconds.

I totally get that...bummer.

I needed some reconstruction work after cancer on an area on my face, it took me several docs to find one that knew what he was doing.

old school used off label for everything just about. Docs like to perscribe psych meds and anticonvulsants for off label use for whatever they want to throw them at.
