The 6 Most Common Reasons Migraine Treatments Fail

Thanks, Nancy, for this post.

I wanted to comment on Dr. Newman's recommendation that Migraine medication be prescribed at their highest doses for maximum effect (with the exception of difficulty with side effects.)

I have found, not only with Migraine preventative medication, but also with other medications I take such as ones for anxiety, that my body does better with lower doses. At a lower dose, my body has found its sweet spot, where at a higher dose, my body does not respond in the same way.

My system is highly sensitive, and so perhaps this is why it responds better to small doses. But, I am glad my specialists recognized that it is a possibility that lower doses (even lower than typically prescribed) can give some people relief.
