Question: Relpax almost daily...making Migraines worse?...side effects of long term use?
Answer:
With all the medications showing promise for Migraine prevention and all the various combinations of preventive medications, it's virtually impossible for you to have tried all of them. With the frequency of your Migraines, the best thing for you is a good preventive regimen so you don't need triptans daily. I know you'd like to have a quick and easy answer here, but there simply isn't one. The best suggestion I can make is that you seek a reputable Migraine specialist. As for the effects of long-term use of Relpax, it hasn't been available long enough for there to be any studies. Please, do youself the favor I did myself and get to a good specialist. It can take some time to come up with the right preventive regimen, but when you do, it's like getting your life back!

Dear Migraine sufferer:
The newer triptan preparations may be less associated with triptan-rebound migraines. I used to not believe that this could happen, but I think, at least for the shorter acting meds like Imitrex, Maxalt and Zomig, that very frequent use might set up the person for more headaches than they started to treat.
Good luck in your search for relief,
