Don't feel i'm on the right meds

Hi there
Bit of background.
I'm a 42 yr old female. I have suffered with headaches for a long time. I would say i get what i would class as a migraine once every 2-3 months so around 6 a yr. I don't get light or sound sensitive, i tend to just have a severe headache with a crushing feeling that NOTHING will help. On occasions i get migraine auras but with no pain. I get tunnel vision and can lose sight completely (feel like i have milk bottle bottoms in front of my eyes so can see light and movement but not actual things if that makes sense). I've taken Ibuprofen for this on many occasions which seems to get rid of it although my doctor says Ibuprofen wouldn't help and it's coincidental.
I get headaches for around 7 days just around the time of my period, what i would class as cluster headaches. With these i take Sumotriptan which usually work. Doctor said if i got a sever headache i could take 2 but when i have a severe headache Sumotriptan do not work and taking 2 just make me vomit anyway.
I take 80mg of Propranolol twice a day and also 1-2 Amitryptaline at night time.
However i don't feel any of this medication is helping me and i don't really want to be taking it. I think my headaches are hormone related.
I also suffer with terrible PMS.
I've been looking into the benefits of Magnesium and wondering if taking a supplement may also help.
Would be happy to take peoples opinions.
Many thanks

I asked if it could be early menopause but he basically laughed at me. Thinking i may ask to see someone else.
