1.5 months of migraines. Help!

I've been having daily migraines for about a month and a half now. In the last two weeks I've had one day without a migraine. I've switched to wearing sunglasses full-time because the nausea is overwhelming. Sometimes I can't even drive during the day with the sunglasses on.

I'm working with my doctor to try to find an effective medication to replace Topomax, which appeared to be doing little for me. I'm in the early stages of physical therapy as well. Does anybody have advice on things I can do myself to help manage the pain?

My migraines are mild pain wise but the visual disturbances and light sensitivity are killing me. I never have enough abortives to take care of things, and it is exacerbating my other chronic conditions (Crohn's, arthritis, fibromyalgia). I'm starting to feel desperate for relief and pain medication isn't making things noticeably better.

You may also need to increase your Topamax, but you should just now be reaching a max dose; which is around 200mg-250mg daily if you tappered up as they normally do. There are also several anti-depressants they can add as well as bp medications; which are used as migraine maintenance medications.

I take and love my Relpax for break through headaches.

I been also been through all the catagories of medications with little to no success; so I started getting Botox for Migraines in May, and it has helped. My physician told me that it usually takes the second round to completely see the full effects. I hope it knocks them out for good. I still take the Topamax and when needed the Relpax.

My very first migraine lasted 6 weeks, so I feel your pain.

Keep your head up, it will get better.
