Hi. So I personally have no experience with generic medications, but if you notice there is a difference, could you just explain to your doctor this fact so they can prescribe you a non-generic medication? If your current place doesn't prescribe it, you can easily just go to a different pharmacy. Just ask your records to be transferred to the new place. The current place isn't going to hate you if you change. They don't care. You just need to do what is right for you.
Also, it may seem bad about taking x amount of medications a day, but if it helps you, why not? It may be "unnatural" in your body, but the medication is used to help treat or prevent conditions. Medication just leaves your body through your urine in the end anyways.
If migraines impact you, I would suggest seeing a doctor about it. In my opinion, or at least I see it this way, is that functioning and being on x amount of medications is better than not functioning and being on zero.
If you still don't want to try medications, you can ask your doctor about alternative methods or see a naturopath about it. Good luck.
