What Are The Possible Treatment For Severe Migraine Headaches Without Narcotics Or Suboxone?

I have chronic and severe migraine headaches and it has been extremely difficult to treat without narcotics. I choose not to take those and would like to find a physician that could treat this. I am now taking suboxone but am wondering if there is some other way to treat the pain w/o narcotics or suboxone?

Hi, migraine is usually managed by ergots and antidepressants along with analgesics. Narcotics are a part of those. In case you do not want to take any of these medicines, you will have to undergo minimally invasive nerve block procedures. I jcase you do not want that then i am Afraid you will have to live with the headache.
