Sounds like a systematic methodical approach to me. Helen
The neurologist I saw recently for a second time seems very much to tow the party line. She seems most in favour of Topiramate, then Sodium Valproate, Amitriptyline then Propranolol. When asked specifically about Venlafaxine, she doesn’t prescribe it because she said it doesn’t stop migraine. Interestingly she said Vitamin B2 and Coenyzme Q10 are the only nutraceuticals for which proven evidence of success exists. She did say there are lots of other drugs people do use and it’s very much a question of individual preference people needing to feel comfortable with what they are taking. I didn’t Show her the list or anything. Wouldn’t have dreamed of doing that. I long ago reached the conclusion UK consultants are much like souffles. If they aren’t handled with extreme caution the whole thing tends to fall flat. Helen

I’m feeling luckier all the time to have found a doctor willing to listen, learn and experiment with me.

Never mind. I got fobbed off again. Labs looked good. Which means nothing. But, there wasn’t any low hanging fruit.

Pizotifen? Where’s Pizotifen. Or is it me missed it?
Ah, maybe there’s actually one hundred and one.
