Default Migraine meds, botox, muscle spasms

I have a headache everyday. I thought it was sinus/allergy headache. Sometimes it decreases with caffeine, sometimes nothing stops it. Tylenol, ibuprofen don't work. Went to ENT, he said yes they might be allergy triggered, but they are neurological in nature:migraines....
Went to my neuro and was recommended nortriptyline which would be "helpful" for my nerve pain and my migraines or depakote which would be helpful for my migraines. Then the last step would be botox injections.
I will probably do none of it for now, but if my life keeps going this way, I am going to be crazy to suffer like this when I could have less pain.

I am wondering what advice good or bad that you all have.
I am also curious about the botox and wondering if it would help my horrible neck muscle spasms that go into my traps, scalenes, and into my shoulders.
