A member asked:

I have wolff-parkinson-white syndrome... i suffer from chronic migraines. would gabapentin be a safe choice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Migraine: To answer that question lots more information is necessary. This kind of question should be posed to the physicians who know you and the details of your problems. Generally a beta blocker(propranolol)is effective for decreasing migraine frequency and severity. There are many factors which go into these recommendations.
