Question: Beta Blocker...help prevent migraine, help save money spent on Zomig?
Answer:
Dear Staci:
Your story is quite common. Inderal and amitriptyline may take several weeks to
"work" to reduce the number and severity of your migraines. If you are having to
repeat doses of Zomig, that may drive costs up. Be aware that there are longer
acting medications in the same family (i.e., Amerge, Axert, Frova, Relpax) These
could be effective over a longer period of time, reducing the need to treat
recurrent headaches. Good luck; it sounds like you may be on the path to
reducing your headache burden.
