Hi llona,

Some preventive treatments for Hemiplegic Migraine are lamictal acetazolimide (diamox) and topamax and especially verapamil seems to work well for some people.

To find a Migraine specialist who has experience treating people with Hemiplegic Migraine, I would make some phone calls to our list of patient recommended specialists in MI. You can find that list HERE.

Good luck

Nancy
