My chronic migraines are getting too much to handle. meds work for a little while then i'm back to square one. what should i do?

Prophylactic meds: Their are a number of different types of medications that can prevent migraine headaches. It often takes trials of more than one medication to find which one works best for a particular individual. I suggest that you try to find a doctor who specializes in or has a particular interest in treating headaches. For more information see: http://understandingmigraine.blogspot.com/
