I have migraines too, and I have heard, even from my pdoc, that there is a correlation between bipolar and migraines. Like my bipolar, my migraines tend to follow my menstrual cycle, and I found that when I took a combination birth control pill, the estrogen severely increased the number of migraines I had. I know that when I was on Epival (American name Depakote) it reduced my migraine frequency and I know that it is used for that purpose. On the Lamictal, I get them about my usual frequency of 1 - 2 a month. I take Maxalt and I find that it treats the symptoms quite effectively.

They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
