If Petadolex and Q10 help you, that's great! I have had no help from any of these or from any preventatives. I have tried dozens, some with very rough side effects (like Diamox or Topamax) with no relief whatsoever. My life is totally crippled by migraines. The triptans help me but leave me totally hung over and lethargic for hours, and I have to take way too many of them. So for some of us caution is good but effective medications are crucial.

Caution is important. The problem is that politics and money are also so often the factors - not caution on behalf of the patient. I hope caution and wisdom win out here - for the patient's sake! Yes, you’re right. Caution is important. The problem is that politics and money are also so often the factors – not caution on behalf of the patient. I hope caution and wisdom win out here – for the patient’s sake!

There are too many instances where drugs thought to be beneficial were later realized to be harmful. Nice article. It's great to be kept up to date on meds -- especially since my neuro doc likes to push them so much. ;-) Personally, I'm stickin' with Petadolex/Butterbur, CoQ10, and magnesium for now.
