I have major migraines and my new miracle drug is Zomig. It’s changed my life because I now know I can kill my migraine with a zomig and if need be a second one after 2 hours. I don’t know how Zomig relates to someone as young as your daughter though. My only regret is that I didn’t know about it before, I could have saved myself a lot of anguish. That and it’s also pretty expensive. 6 pills cost about 90 bucks.

I’m no doctor but I don’t like the idea of a daily preventative. If Zomig is age-appropriate and approved for someone like your daughter I’d say go with that and have her carry around a couple in her pocket at all times. I know I sound like I work for Zomig but it’s given me the confidence know I can zap the migraine. Before I tried immitrex and sometimes it didn’t work.

A couple of other things...chocolate and coffee are MAJOR migraine triggers and have to be avoided whenever possible.

We didn't like the idea initially of the daily either, but they’ve become so frequent, with no apparent trigger. Where mine were more severe but less frequent, Maxalt and Zomig to an extent, when I tried it, worked for me more or less. My daughters seem a bit less severe but much more frequent. I don't know if you could take a Zomig 4 times a week, and she's had 4 or 5 in a week before unfortunately.
