I am a long time migraine sufferer. I have been on every treatment there is. I tried the elimination diet and found out what triggers them and avoid those foods completely. But, I still got migraines.
I've been on numerous drugs that eventually don't work anymore.
I've been through biofeedback. I've been to chiropractors, naturpathic docs, you name it, I've done it.
Finally, Topamax. I am on 400 mg a day - 200 in the morning and 200 at night. It has been the ONLY thing that has ever worked in the 30 years of my history of migraines. I've been taking Topamax since 2002 and have only had 1 migraine since starting on this drug and that was when I thought I knew more than my doc and tried to lower the dose! Ha ha ha!
There is a book that maybe you should all read. It's called Heal Your Headache by David Buchholz. Very good reading.
