Try triptans, Botox: If you have migraines, try imitrex, (sumatriptan) Maxalt and other triptans. If you take cafergot, caffeine is part of the problem, esp. If you also drink coffee. Try a course of prednisone. If headaches are daily, Botox works the best. Take magnesium and vit. B complex. Switch to methylergonovine, a long-acting ergot instead of the short-acting ones used for migraines. It is easier to stop the long-acting one.
