hello
you need to slowly stop this drugwithin a few drugs, and add other adjuvant pain killers like paracetamol so as to decrease the increase in headche over the upcoming days. and also consult your local physician who prescribed you with pizotifen. other drugs like propranolol or funarizine can be taken on a regular basis for prevention or prophylaxis of migraine attacks in future.
