what to do with a migraine when most medications do not work
I am even on migraine prevention medication and still once a month will wake up at 2am with a throbbing migraine. I in the past few years have onset migraines atleast one a week. Most medications do not work
mickeydani,
Don't lose hope! There are now over 100 medications that can be used for Migraine prevention. For a list of them, see Migraine preventive medications -- too many options to give up!
One Migraine a week is definitely too many. There's growing evidence that Migraine is a progressive brain disease, and we need to try to prevent them. Take a look at Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage.
If your doctor is out of ideas and unable to help you, consider seeing a Migraine specialist. Take a look at Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's so Different? Then, if you need help finding a specialist, see our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Speciaists.
Hope this helps!
