This might be my wonder drug. Gabapentin. I take 3 of these puppies at night, and 1 in the morning. My migraines are less frequent and less intense. When I do get one, I am able to take my rescue medication (Imitrex or Treximet) right away, and the migraine goes away within 30 minutes. I am thrilled! I am still going to the Headache Center about once every 6 weeks. I just had blood work to check some levels...I never heard back from the clinic, so I'm guessing no news is good news. I should have a repeat MRI in March to determine if the little white spots are staying the same or if they are changing. So, yes, we are making progress.
