[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 85936, member: 2423"] The first medication my son ever trialed for migraine prevention was Nortriptyline. It didn't work. We then went to Propranolol (blood pressure medication), which we have used to treat his migraines for 4 years. It has worked wonders in his case. When he gets a rare break-through migraine, he takes Maxalt. I myself take Axert as needed for migraines. Both are in the same class of medications as Imitrex and can be sedating. Periactin is the antihistamine used to treat migraines. It wasn't all that effective for my daughter. Anticonvulsant/mood stabilizers (Topomax, Neurontin and Depakote) are also used to treat migraines. We found in my daughter's case that when we stabilized her mood with Lamictal and Lexapro, her migraines disappeared. Hope you find something that works. [/QUOTE]
