I was snooping around the web and came across this list of meds used both on and off label for migraine prevention, along with links to more details about them:

Thanks, Captain for this. I was just going to start a post on Lyrica but will add it here. My doctor dropped my Verapamil yesterday when I called and told him that my headaches were continuing even though he increased the dose from 200 to 240mg. It says on the PubMed website that it takes a few weeks to work. It says on the chat room here that you posted that you get weight gain which I don't need especially since he also is weaning me from Topamax which helps you lose weight. One person in the chat room started using Meridia. I'll have to check on that. I joined a gym and have a personal trainer that starts next week so that should help. I just hope I don't get headaches and can keep up in the gym. I really want to give this gym a try and not give up. We've got to fight these headaches.
Thanks for this great list, Deb!
Hugs,
