Hi Jelly. I’ve also had migraines since I was 15. I’m assuming you are eating clean? No processed foods, sugars or MSG? I’ve been on every preventative known to man and nothing worked for me long term until I tried the new CGRP inhibitors, but I also went chronic at 37, so that’s just a challenge in itself. I’ve since stopped the infusion since they come with their own set of risks and are essentially sold with the impression that nausea is the main side effect. Prior to going chronic I did find relief from a status migrainous cycle with Topamax, which is a pretty nasty drug. I think I was on it for about 6 months at a pretty low dose - 75mg.
I can tell you more about the CGRP inhibitors if you are interested. Ubrevely and Nurtec are pretty awesome oral abortives but I only take them if I am in dire straits. I haven’t noticed an interaction with benzo withdrawal directly. Reyvow is also new and put me into a horrible wave, but I only tried it once. Zomig nasal spray is pretty awesome for weather pressure induced migraines, for me anyway.
