follow your doctors orders on medication dosage. We can't tell you how much is too much because we aren't doctors. I can tell you when I use Midrin I use it as my doctor prescribes it, just like yours: 2 the first of Migraine, then one each hour up to 5. If I take it more than 2 days a week I have stomach cramping, a potential side effect. The other issue is taking more than that can create another problem formerly called rebound now called Medication Overuse Headache. Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires.

one doc told me over use is taking meds every day,I thought that was a general answer just to shut me up.I thought rebound happens when you take meds if you think you are getting a headache and you wind up triggering another later on.
