I take Chelated Magnesium which is a lot easier on the stomach. Start out with a low dose and work your way up.

You hang in there, Please tell your Doc about the depression as its not only the down side of migraine but the meds could have a negative result, the lack of sleep and other factors. I suffer 24/7 not only with Migraine but three other types of headache the worse being Occipital Neuralgia, I have no drugs to stop the pain. You cry , you feel depressed, you know when there is a change in the weather as the Pain varies. Tomorrow I am seeing another Neurologist. Please stay strong and if the pain becomes to bad or the situation call 111 who can help.
Best wishes
Chris

I'm so sorry. I get daily headaches, sometimes they are migraines but fortunately not chronic. Have you tried adding magnesium to your diet? I don't have any other advice for you just sympathy.

i suggest 4 things. I’ve had frequent migraines for 30years.
1.
Frovatriptan. It’s long acting working 8 hours. It doesn’t cause rebound but it’s expensive so I order it from Planet Drugs Direct on the internet. It’s a wonderful product.
2. Make sure you’re taking 400 mg magnesium citrate a day. I take it in divided doses because it is an ingredient of many laxatives and I don’t want that problem.
3. In the US a new preventative is on the market for migraines. It’s called Aimovig. You can google it and find their number and try to get it. Not sure when it’s getting to other countries. It’s made by Amgen.
4. Sumatriptan injection always works for me but also makes me quite tired.
Good luck.
Gaye

I forgot to mention that I have been a suffer for 45 years progressively go worse. I am awaiting a transplantation of a remote controlled device to disrupt nerve patterns however Iv waited along time. Docs were taking me in to hospital for two weeks to take away drugs and introduce others however that never happened and I with drew myself with no positive effect. Tomorrow I am seeing a new Neuro clinic which i have been waiting for over 8 months so I will let you know the outcome. The pain every day is such where A and E admission is going to be required or a Gun to the head , the latter we don't have in the UK , but gives non sufferers an idea of how one can suffer when having bouts of four conditions bring Neuralgia.
