A daily low dose of Citalopram 20mg prescribed by my GP worked for me and got me through my wedding with no migraine :-)
The side effects were strange at first, they cause drowsiness, fatigue but I persisted with it and it does improve after 4 weeks. They take the edge off of daily stress and worries and it certainly took the edge off my migraines. At first, when I felt a migraine approaching I cared less and they didn't really bother me and my migraines became less severe. I started having less frequent migraines. After a few months my migraines stopped altogether, I had a few headaches but it was a vast improvement.
I took citalopram for 1 year but I had to wean myself off and stop taking it due to other medical reasons but I would highly recommend.
