I take maxalt when I feel the onset of a headache. It does relieve the headache over time, but I get on average three or four headaches a week. I am an at home mom taking care of four small children ages 9 mo through 4 yrs. I have been to several doctors and tried various medications, of which non seem to do the job. Any suggestions.
Melissa,
With the number of Migraines you're experiencing, you are defitnitely a candidate for preventive therapies. There are many, many of them available. (See Migraine preventive medications - too many options to give up!)
It sounds like it's time for you to see a Migraine specialist. Take a look at:
• Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's so Special
• Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.
Hope this helps!
