I have been seeing my family doctor for my migraine. The medications he has been giving me over the past several years seem to work for a while and then they stop working. I want to see a specialist but I don't know what kind I should look for.

Dear Av2245 -
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.
Good luck to you!
