Possibly
naratriptan (trade names include
Amerge and
Naramig). Some can also get migraine relief from
naproxen or naproxen in combination with a
triptan.
OTOH, if it's something she's been on for 5 days, it may be a prophylactic. Lists of those can get quite lengthy.
Google:
list of migraine prophylactics
Being on an abortive for 5 days is possible, but depending on which one may risk
medication overuse headaches (
rebound effect).
I've never heard of "
inverted migraine" either, but I'm familiar with
silent migraine, which is one term for migraine without headache. Another term/type is
ocular migraine. There are others too, and since they often go by various/multiple names...
There is an
inverted vision migraine or
inverted/tilted perception disorder, but AFAIK that usually involves vision being inverted 180° -- not just dizziness/spells.
