A member asked:

What causes my attacks and prophylaxis? i take ergotamine tartarate.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Migraines?: If you are taking ergotamine, then someone has likely determined that your attacks are migraines. Migraines are a very common problem, but their cause is not entirely understood. There are many over-the-counter and prescription medications that may be helpful for migraine prophylaxis. Discuss your options with your doctor.
