I'd say if the symptoms and side effects of your medication are worse than the migraines, stop the medication. Motor skill problems and memory loss? That's some terrifying shit, there.

Have you been sent to a neurologist? Or maybe has anyone looked into whether your migraines are related to back/neck problems? They are for her. They're also triggered by certain foods--vodka and wine, peanuts and peanut butter (most nuts, actually), really salty foods, MSG--there are a lot of ways to control migraines without scary drugs, but I don't know your history or what you've already tried.

Thank you Ayla! I have stopped the medications, and will be referred to a neurologist as soon as I can call the doctors back tomorrow.

I do have a sensitivity to artificial sweeteners, and maybe MSG - other foods I'm still figuring out. I do get tension headaches sometimes that can lead to migraines, so back or neck issues may also contribute. I appreciate all of your help! <3
