Hello! I've been in status migrainosus for about 90 days now and I don't know what to do. I'm currently on 75mg Topiramate to see if that can break my status. I was given Prednisolone at the ER for a couple of days, but that did not help. My condition has improved since I started the medication, but
Hi everyone! So I’ve been prescribed lasmiditan for my migraines and my doctor said that’s it’s a newer medication for them. I’m just wondering who, if anyone, if taking it?
