[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 80781, member: 2423"] My son has had migraines since age 4. Triggers for him include fatigue, stress, bright sunlight, exertion on a hot day, certain foods (mozzarella cheese, for example), not drinking enough fluids. He was getting headaches every day (some led to full-blown migraines if not stopped soon enough). Because Ibuprofen (Advil) and other analgesics can cause rebound headaches, the neurologist felt he needed to be on a preventive medication. Propranolol has worked very well for him for 4 years (we've had to raise the dose twice as he grew). Although Topamax is used as a preventive migraine medication, it may not be the right one for your difficult child or the dose may not be high enough. This is something you need to talk over with the neurologist. Other migraine preventives include Depakote, Neurontin, Amitriptyline and Nortriptyline. [/QUOTE]
