"Suffered severe, crippling migraines on a regular basis. Doctor put me on olmesartan 40 mg three times a day, and the migraines gradually went away completely. Tapered off, the migraines came back. Started back on, migraines went away again. I do not have high blood pressure, and taking olmesartan has only lowered my blood pressure slightly. Been on olmesartan now for four years."

"I take 20 mg, 3x/day, and it seems to work even better than amlodipine at 20 mg/day for me. I haven't had a migraine in weeks. Great medication. Thinking about trying to switch to telmisartan eventually for its other health benefits."

Olmesartan "Benicar has been a 'wonder' drug for me. It is the only BP medication that my body will tolerate. I have been on this drug for 10 years. Not only has it stabilized my BP (the original reason it was prescribed for me), but I have ceased having migraine headaches. I haven't even had any regular headaches since I began taking Benicar."
