right now the most popular treatment seems to be topamax. i have had some relief. there are mixed reviews, but like with anything that is to be expected. good luck

Thank You!

Topomax has been really great for me but it is also an anticonlvusant. The side effects can be somewhat difficult to deal with but they do subside after the first couple of months and the med usually works very quickly. Unfortunaley it has interacted with every birth control I have tried and I am just being taken off my last one, oh well. Good luck with everything

There are lots of Migraine specific perscription drugs. I have tried dozens as they have been developed. You take these when you feel a headache coming on. There are also some medications that you take daily as a a preventatives. I haven't been successful with these.
Talk to your doctor about which ones could help you.
Good luck

There are medicines you can take daily for migraines (preventative), and those you take only when you have a migraine.

Topomax is a daily treatment, I was on it for awhile but couldn't tolerate the side effects (my hands and feet were totally numb--too weird). There are lots of daily medications--amytripeline and propanol(a beta blocker) are two examples. My neuro. also had me try butterbur which is an herbal supplement. Unfortunately I was allergic to most of these or didn't tolerate the side effects.

So far I've had the best luck with meds I take on the first onset of migraines. Imitrex has worked the best for me so far, and my neuro has me take aleve along with it. There are other medications like imitrex out there-relpax is one I want to try but my insurance doesn't pay for enough of it for me to be able to afford it. I am going to also try Mexalt. I was also on Midrin for awhile but wasn't strong enough.

Hope this helps:) I've been on almost everything...
There are LOTS of things out there by prescription, talk to your general doctor or a neurologist for what would be best for you.
