Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.
You can talk to your dr about possibly trying a heart/blood pressure medication. They are often used to help migrain headaches. Beta blockers like propanolol or atenolol. The 2 you have tried are anti seixure medications so maybe trying a different kind of med would be worth it. You could also talk to them about anti depresants that work for migrains like zoloft, prozac, or Amitriptyline see if you can branch off and away from anti seizure meds if they don't seem to be working and try a different type.
