Can migraine sufferers who are overweight take Phen-Fen? What is a recommended meal plan for someone who takes this drug?
There doesn’t appear to be any special problem with migraines. Patients of mine have not reported any increase in migraines in either severity or frequency. There is no special meal plan since this drug seems to decrease appetite in general. Clearly trying to limit ones calories while taking this drug will be more beneficial. There are diets that help some migraine sufferers. That is, some people will find their migraines triggered by certain diets or foods. This is particularly true of so called cluster migraines. The foods are any food high in tyramine especially chicken livers, cheese, sour cream, yogurt, pickled herring, soy sauce, beer, wine(especially red wines),bananas, avocados, broad beans(Fava etc.), chocolate, raisins etc.
