Hi Daisy!
First let me say, it can take up to six weeks to see if a preventive medication is working for you.
The anti-seizure medication can be one of many:

Good Luck on the new medication!

Im suffer with migraine from the age of 8 im 38 now.I have been refered to specialists who have prescribed me beta blockers, amitriptiline, and a multitude of other pain killers and migraine preventatives over the years.8 years ago a new doctor started in the surgery and prescribed me zomig rapimelt 2.5mg and i can only say it changed my life. This drug enabled me to have a reasonably normal life, When a migraine attack starts i take the zomig and the pain is gone 30mins later...I have recommended this to a lot of people who suffer from migraine and they found it to be effective.Its worth a try!!!
