What Should Be Done For Severe Migraine If It Does Not Cure Even After Taking Medication?

I have had a migraine for the past9 days. I get a migraine for 4 to 15 days every month. I have been prescribed to Sumatriptans that worked the first time and then just made me have an extreme migraine causing so much pain in my eyes head neck and shoulders that I would be puking the whole night but at least it would kill the migraine. I am now prescribed to ic butal- acet- caff 40mg and this makes me able to function but does not get rid of the migrAine. I am 21 and see a nuerologist and my primary care dr aand cannot get my headaches under control
