Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.

Divalprorex sodium is good drug , used for prophylaxis of migraine. It may help you to prevent further episode of migraine. Routine dose of it ranges from 10-40 mg/day.

Nortryptilline and propranolol are other drugs used for prophylaxis of migraine. You may discuss about this drug to your doctor.

I hope It will help you.

Thanks.

In Ayurveda there is Nasaya therapy which is very benificial in Migraine . In this detoxifing procedure medicated Nasal drop is inserted after facial massage & fomentation after that when this medicine comes to oropharynx than it split out. at the end medicated gargles should be done .it is very benificial in Migrain.
ENT Specialist Dr. Diganta Kumar Das's  Response
Have you got your baseline blood investigation done before starting Divalproex sodium ? I mean your BT, CT, PT aPTT, LFT etc. Anyway, monitor your platelet count while using Divalproex sodium as it may reduce platelet count in long term (Platelet is important for blood coagulation). With all these precautions, Divalproex sodium can be used to decrease migraine headache frequency.

hi , welcome to HCM,
YOUR MIGRANE PROBLEM IS CHRONIC IN NATURE so homeopathy works very well in such chronic condition. Homeopathy believes that migraine is a personality disorder and hence the treatment should be determined only on the basis of in-depth study of the patients' personality.so consult nearby good homeopathic doctor .
Things that can trigger migrane are:
foods like cheese, citrus fruits, caffeine and chocolate
Fluctuations in hormones (for example, menstruation)
Certain odors, such as perfume
Bright lights
Loud noises
Stress, physical or emotional (often, the headache occurs during the period of relaxation just following a particularly stressful time)
Sleeping too little or too more
Regular light meals to prevent a drop in blood sugar levels, sometimes Simply lying down on your back to stretch the joints and muscles with a rolled up towel in the nape of the neck is often a comfort...
TAKE CARE...

as a allopathic medicines its ok. but as our ayurvedic treatment it[ sodium valproate] is not permanent way to cure migraine and NOW that medicine is sufficient dose for it . and know that at interval of some months you should check up your kidney function [blood test S. CREATININE] . DONT WORRY ABOUT ANY TYPE OF CHRONIC MIGRAN . i can cure your migraine . because i have cured hundreds of migraine patients with great success and permanent result. first your CT SCAN IS NORMAL ?. specially normal reasons in your case i think may " chronic constipation,blood circulation disturbances in brain [check BP regular],increasing PITT[bile] level in your body,stress full life,depression, VAT[gas]trouble,chronic indigestion,irregular life style,insomnia, vitamin and mineral deficiency in your diet,------------------------ MAINLY THESE REASONS OF CREATE SUITABLE POSITION FOR MIGRAINE IN OUR BODY[ IMBALANCE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS{ the chemicals of brain} ]. AND THIS IMBALANCE CAN CHANGES OF OUR NATURE AND THOUGHTS AND ALSO OUR BEHAVIOR .. and patient cant understand the same matter and his migraine pain increase day by day. u can contact your nearest ayurvedic migraine specialist doctor or contact me +91 9825942366 e mail- drkrishnaravalmcdcr@gmail.com
