Sort of: There are several meds that can help migraine, but none with the same appetite suppressant effects. But the good news is that the line/dose between cognitive effects and not is often as little as 25 mgs. Therefore careful downward titration in 25 mg increments every month to 6 weeks might find the golden dose of headache control with clear thinking.
