I know that they were testing Keppra to be a medication for migraines. I
made Mindy an appt for May 5th with a headache clinic. The appt was made in
January. Nothing OTC has worked at all for her. Hopefully they can give
her something to help her out. She had a migraine for 2mths and then had a
grand mal.
For her previous migraines they had given her Maxalt 10mg. It worked until
she had it for 2mths. I know my niece is 10 and has been using Imitrex for
several mths now.
Good luck!!

Hi Tammy,
I thought the same thing about Jonathon. He is 10 years old and is taking
2000 mgs daily of Keppra, and I've noticed a lot of others who take much
smaller doses. But his neuro team also told me that there is a lot of room
to increase his dosage if needed. I think it's one of those situations
where YMMV.
We also recently found out that his neuro team thinks he may be getting
migraines. They're not treating him yet, but I was wondering if anyone
knows of migraine medicines that are safe for children and that do not
contain sulfa? Sulfa--even in very small doses--messes with his blood
sugars, and most of the migraine meds I know about either contain sulfa or
are not recommended for children.
