Hi there. I am a lifelong sufferer of migraines, since infancy. I also have depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic.After many years of trying different combinations with neurologists, this worked for me: zonisamides another anticonsulant, that I take as a preventative twice a day. I titrated slowly up to my present dose. Topamax had worked, but my hair fell out and I became quite stupid.
I also take a nutritional supplement call Migralief, which is a proprietary blend of feverfew, magnesium, and riboflavin. Purchased at a health food store, it is specifically called out by neuroloists. Made by Quantum Health.
Finally, for breakthrough headaches - when I ignore my triggers and do something stupid - I have a CURE in the form a nasal spray called Migranal. It is ergatomine based and works within 15 minutes.
My psychiatric meds are: clonazapam (anxiety), Lexapro (depression), Trileptal (depression and insomnia), Ambien CR (insomnia) and Wellbutrin XL (depression).
Good luck with your migraines, and be persistent. I am so glad I was, after so long.
Take care
Partlycloudy
