Hi Cephaleia,
You really need to ask your doctor this question. We really want to help, but are unable to answer this question because it cannot be answered online. These types of questions can only be answered doctor who has reviewed the persons medical and family history, discussed their symptoms, and conducted a complete exam in person.
I know how easy it is to feel as if everything out there have been tried, but there are so many medications that can be used for Migraine and headache prevention that it's literally impossible. You can find a list of potential Migraine and headache preventives in Migraine preventive medications - too many options to give up!
If your doctor isn't able to help you, it may well be time to consult a Migraine and headache specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.
I hope this helps,
Nancy
