I have these same migraines and they make me panic. I feel as though I have been hit by a Mac truck! my neurologist has asked me what time of the day/night my migraines come on but then he never responds so I feel there is some relevance here... Mine is also severe in the right eye; as though I've been stabbed with an ice pick. I know that sounds horrible but I don't know how else to describe it. Sitting up relieves it some and Maxalt helps me most but it's usually too late. I have Loricet as well but it seems it just takes the edge off. I remember reading once about
migraines in the middle of the night or early morning but I can't remember... Must be that high dose of topomax!
God bless and hang in there.....
