Due to my husband being in the mortgage industry he's not making any money right now and we have no health insurance. Are there any nonprescription preventatives available?

Dear sweetsinger,
There are dietary supplements and products that are combinations of dietary supplements available over-the-counter that can be used for Migraine prevention. We do, however, advise that these be discussed with your doctor before you take them. Over-the-counter or not, they still act as drugs in the body.
Some of these products that our readers have had some success with (and one place you can find each of them) are:
• Coenzyme Q10 (available at iHerb)
• Petadolex (available at Petadolex.com)
• Vitamin B2 (available at iHerb)
• Magnesium (available at iHerb)
Sweetsinger, have you been taking prescription medications that you can't afford at this time? If so, you may be able to get them at no cost or reduced cost through patient assistance programs. A good place to check on this is www.pparx.org.
