A member asked:
I have been taking medication for occipital migraines which improved the past few months but recently come back. should i change/increase medication?

Need to followup: with your migraine doctor to talk about your headache hygiene before you try to change/ increase dosage on your medications. Titrating your medication is also key for migraines, and perhaps you need a maintenance medication to prevent migraines (prophylaxis) rather than wait until it comes then try to treat. Thanks for trusting HealthTap.
