Migraine prevention

Medications that prevent migraines from recurring are only used by a small number of the roughly 15 percent of the adult population affected by the painful headaches. According to the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the American Headache Society (AHS), nearly 40 percent of migraine sufferers could benefit from preventive drugs, but less than a third of these individuals take them. New guidelines put forth by the AAN and AHS list several drugs that help stop migraines before they start. These include the anti-seizure drugs divalproex (Depakote), valproate (Depacon) and topiramate (Topamax), in addition to the beta-blockers metoprolol, propranolol and timolol. While all of these drugs have side effects, their benefit must be weighed against any potential downside.
