Offthe top of my head, I wonder if anti-epileptic meds might calm the brain; however, these meds bring problems of their own.


As I am writing, it comes to me that magnesium might be helpful, as it tends to calm the CNS. Magnesium is now considered as a very important part of a prophylactic approach to migraine for chronic migraineurs.


Just a thought.

My best!
Thanks WC.

I'll try the magnesium.

About the anti-epileptic, I used to take Lamictal but I can't any more because it was damaging my liver, otherwise I'd try it.

I see my pdoc next week, I'll see what she says. I wonder if this is related to my lower sleep.
