I've been prescribed Ergotamine Tartrate/Caffeine Tabs for my migraine attacks. The doctor said it should help narrow the blood vessels in my brain and relieve the pain. I've heard it can cause some serious side effects, though, like allergic reactions and high blood pressure. Has anyone else taken this medication? How effective has it been for you? Also, what kinds of side effects have you experienced and how did you manage them?
