What’s the best preventative medication you’ve had luck with? I’ve suffered chronic migraines since I was able to remember. My current pcp doesn’t listen when I tell me medications aren’t working and I would like to be able to go in and advocate for myself a bit more with knowing how others deal with it.
"Some people have found success with different medications. One person mentioned that they take Topamax twice daily and it has helped them in preventing migraines. Another person uses Eletriptan, which helps manage the pain 90% of the time without causing nausea. Yet another person takes Aimovig every 28 days as an injection and Effexor every morning, along with Botox injections every three months. However, these haven't slowed down or helped their migraines, but they might help others."
