Two approaches: Most common way to stop is to take a triptan within the first 1 1/2 hrs, and several choices available. The powder Cambia may be used later if necessary, and ergot amines can be used at any time. Prevention via botox, or drugs such as depakote, topirimate, or beta-blockers, but also otc remedies like riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew, magnesium. Discuss with your doctor..

Lifestyle: For immediate relief. acetaminophen is probably the safest drug is your liver is in good health. For prevention, follow an autoimmune diet (no grains, lentils, milk protein. Eat plenty of vegetables, flesh foods. Also consume some saturated fat, olive oil). Take vit D3 and probiotics daily.
