I've only started having migraines for a year now.  They've started to come more frequently in the last 6 months.  Only recently have I gone to a doctor for prescriptions to relieve it.  I'm wondering what others are taking to relieve the pain and/or nausea and vomiting.
 
My gdoc told me to take Bayer Migraine and then if I still have nausea and vomitting I take Compazine suppositories.
 
I then went to my neurologist.  She said to take the Bayer Migraine initially and if it's too late to stop the pain give myself a sumatriptan injection or zolmitriptan nasal spray (I'm using samples right now).  I would still use the Compazine suppositories because, I don't know about you, but the vomiting is terrible.
 
 
Note:  I know some people take Topamax, but I'd rather not go that route.  I have bipolar disorder and epilepsy and take 3 moodstabilizers, 2 of which are AEDs.  I'm happy with both AEDs and they don't have side effects.  I'm not sure Topamax would work as well for these 2 problems and have as few side effects.
