Migraine treatment: Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, (chronic or episodic) effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management (e.g. acupuncture), and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. See an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and professional management.

My response: Sounds like you have not had satisfactory interactions, and you are correct about rebound, as use of analgesics such as narcotics or even tylenol, (acetaminophen) can distinctly make migraines worse. Instead, a better approach is to prevent with OTC items, such as riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew, Co-Q10. The downside of lack of help is continuing headache issues.
