A member asked:
With hemicrania continua, is there anything that can be done medically/surgically or just with indomethacin and other drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Indomethacin is the best medication. For those that can't tolerate it Celexa (citalopram) has been helpful. Tricyclic antidepressants have also been used.Other medications with case reports of efficacy include melatonin, topiramate, verapamil and gabapentin. Radio frequency ablation of supraorbital branch of trigeminal N, Botox, and deep brain stimulation have been used.

Indomethacin for hemicrania continua. Based on 1 week of use, one 25mg pill kills pain for near 24hrs. Ok to use it this way rather than 3x day as rx.
