Hey,
I use a calcium channel drug as a regular migraine prevention. It's Calan by brand, but the generic is called verapamil and costs about $4/week.
I take 80 mg of this 3X/day, regardless of migraine or no migraine.
This med has reduced the severity and number of my migraines, although I still get quite a few 'menstrual migraines."
The downside of this for me is that it does modulate one's mood, so that your emotions may not be as strong. But it does not have a 'depressive' effect.
Good luck!books
