Hi and a belated welcome. Might pay to have a thorough look through the Wikis and other Welcome info. Check out the remainder of the treatment package by which I mean diet, lifestyle changes etc all worth a trial. If you eventually do see Dr S you should find he is insistent on the migraine diet. You can find it on here. Just search âthe six Csâ diet. As you strike me as a âlady in a hurryâ can I suggest you follow this link for more background. Thereâs an excellent, very thorough but extremely long, FAQ from various neurologists in the Wikis to read later on at your leisure but I always think thatâs easier to absorb once youâve had some time to get your head around MAV which can take a while.
Chronic Migraine - paper by Dr Silver
Good luck with the Gabapentin. Hope it helps. If it doesnât prove the one for you you may find it necessary to revisit some of your previous âfailedâ options. That can happen. Sometimes the failure is a result of the start up procedures, not having been advised to give each drug sufficient time (they can take months to kick in properly) or even overblown expectations. So for now try to keep an open mind.
