Migraine cocktails in the ER are the only thing that breaks it for me. Sometimes I have to do multiple rounds for it to work, I usually chase it with steroids after. I don’t know if you’re looking for something long term but I was doing that a couple times a month before I started doing Botox every 12 weeks.

Yeah that’s completely understandable, ER prices are no joke but it’s about your quality of life. I’ve had lots of trouble with neurologist in the past-I went through five before I found the one that actually listened and did something for me. If it’s possible maybe look into another opinion. A lot of the times they use Reglan in the cocktail which will help with both pain and nausea. But it’s super important you don’t leave until the migraine and nausea are completely broken.
