A member asked:
Can there be some long term migraine medication available that would require you taking four weeks off work to adjust?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no such medication. If you are getting an IV infusion for refractory headache or migraine it takes 5 days protocol and 5-7 days off are warranted. Hope it helps.
