I've suffered from chronic migraines for years, and while my current triptan medication works sometimes, I'm having too many breakthrough attacks that leave me incapacitated. My neurologist mentioned newer migraine treatment options like CGRP inhibitors, but I'm hesitant due to the cost and potential side effects. For those who have tried these newer preventive medications, what has your experience been regarding effectiveness, accessibility with insurance, and how they compare to older preventive drugs like topiramate or beta-blockers?
