The reason you only get 6 of one and 9 of the other is because of safe dosing/ they don't want people to overdose.
Second, I am curious about your blood pressure, if it's elevated.
There are 3 med classes that can work alternatives to topamax and imitrex.
1) SSRI- works on serotonin pathways, common migraine pathway. (example: amitriptyline)- taken at bedtime- makes people sleepy.
2) blood pressure medicine. Metoprolol
3) anti-seizure. (Keppra) not sure how this works for migraines?
Otherwise, I did headache therapy last year and it was great. Taught relaxation techniques that reduced my migraines from 7/ week to 2/week.

Piglit, thanks for Your advice- you added what I should have said- that these are meds that may be options, but you need to discuss it with you doctor to determine what's right for you.

Hi airmale29 I have experienced really bad headaches and mine was going through a neck problem. I found that pain relief helped to a certain extent and I also had acupunture and found releif in time with this. As for medication advice no one can give you that as we are not allowed to on this site. Please ask your dr or specialist in regards to your medications Good luck hope you feel better soon Let me know how you get along Piglit
