I get migraines but not chronically, usually tied to overworking myself or the weather. Since I started the beta blocker propranolol I've had way less of them! I still get migraines but very rarely, I take a very small dose once daily bc I have a sensitivity to it (ME/CFS related). Idk your med or health history but I think it's worth looking into if you want

Sandomigran(aka pizotifen). I've had no luck on many other medications, but I've gone from having 3-4 migraines a week to maybe 1-2 a month on pizotifen. But a lot of people experience weight gain on it, so that might be something to consider for the pros and cons of this medication

So far I've just been taking supplements - magnesium and riboflavin - to help. My migraines have gotten largely under control, but there are definitely more factors than just the Mg and B2.
