Some migraineurs are considered fortunate since they are capable of experiencing prodromal symptoms. Prodromal symptoms alert the patient when they are about to have a migraine attack. Prodromal symptom does not offer any relief but at least it allows the migraineur to plan for the down period they are about to go into. Provided a migraineur has learnt the cognitive behavioral therapy they are in a position to use the prodromal symptoms to short circuit the migraine headache.

In cognitive behavioral therapy the aim is to consciously manipulate and recognize the role that the behavior of a patient plays in the development of the headaches. The therapist and the patient will both work to establish the patients behavior when they feel they are about to have a headache. For the patients who are not lucky enough to experience prodromal symptoms they work with their therapist to establish the patients behavior when the pain starts. After establishing the patient’s behavior, the therapist and patient then develop alternative behaviors for the patient to try in place of the earlier ones. The hope is that by changing the patient’s behavior they might be able to change the migraine.

I have a lot of ongoing migraines and headaches and my neurologist has suggested topamax or zonegran for prevention. I just want some honest answers from people who have actually taken this medication(s) on how it worked and the side effects you experienced.
I generally don’t like taking medications on a daily basis but am tired of taking pain killers for my headaches and feel that taking something to prevent a headache might be safer (I currently take vicodin for my headaches) I am not looking for people’s advice on alternative methods of treatment nor am I looking for a lecture on my medications. I have been under the care of a very good neurologist for years and don’t need any medical advice. Just honest feedback from patients who have used this medication and their experience with it, I am tired of my head pain ruining much of my life. Thanks!
Chant….if you really are a doctor then you would know that maxalt is not good for frequent usage..
