Over the last seventeen years, I have used many kinds of triptans and they all work reasonably well for me. My doctor warned me that if I over-used triptans, it could be bad for my heart. I really had no choice, the migraine headaches were happening every day and I always vowed that the quality of life was more important than the quantity of years lived, so I took the triptans daily.

My life was very busy and full of both good and bad stress. Eventually my body reached its threshold of tolerance and I had a heart attack. It was then that I had to re-evaluate my life and prioritize which stressful events I would tolerate and which ones I could let go.

It was only after I de-stressed my life that my headaches stopped. I believe the most important lesson I learned about male migraine and depression is that it is usually self-inflicted.

Sometimes we think everything is going good and we enjoy stress because it's challenging, but it is causing us a lot more damage than we know. If you're having migraine headaches, there might be something in your life that you need to change.
