Additional Thoughts
This drug has helped a lot. Before I was having several migraines a week and an ongoing continuous headache for weeks on end. After trying several of the traditional migraine medications and experiencing adverse reactions that left me in bed for several days due to my reactions this drug helped so much. I haven't had a full blown migraine since starting this drug a few months ago. I'm very happy with the results.
