I’m not certain whether this comment is for you or one of the posters.

I emailed this thread to my daughter who has had to leave medical school (Neurologist) because of massive migraines. She asked me post this:

Recommend that she try Propranolol as a preventative medication. It’s for high blood pressure & can be safely used with other types of drugs. It doesn’t cause weight gain and is a cheap generic. It has been a God send for me as it GREATLY reduces the number and severity of migraines I get. It dilates blood vessels in the body, lowering blood pressure, but constricts vessels in the brain meninges, preventing migraine.
