Q: Does singulair work as a migraine preventive?

I started taking singulair 2 weeks ago for allergy related symptoms and realize I have not had a headache in 8 days! For several years I've been dealing with daily headaches and they seemed to have stopped.

I now little about Singulair but I have seen it on one of the lists of migraine prevention meds. There are something like 100 meds on the "lists." I am so happy to hear this is helping you! Hope it continues to help!

Thanks for your response. I have since found out there is a patent pending for Singulair to use it as a migraine/headache preventive. I'm trying to gather as much info as possible so I may speak to my Dr about prescribing it.
