What works in combination with nortriptyline for migraines?

I take Nortriptyline for migraines but can only tolerate up to 35mg and it does not completely treat the migraines. Is there another medication that would work in combination with Nortriptyline for migraine preventative?

Hi Lindsay,

If nortriptyline, aka Pamelor, isn't working to reduce your Migraine frequency and/or severity, there are over 100 medication used to treat Migraine disease, so don't lose hope! Migraine Preventive Medications - Too Many Options To Give Up! will give you plenty of information. Feel free to print this out and discuss this information with your doctor.

Good luck
