I have really bad headaches regularly and they changed my medication to zonisamide to try and help it and it has but I do still get them but not as often.

Just so you know migraines are not another form of epilepsy. They are another neurological disorder. That is why some migraine sufferers take epilepsy medicine for them. Some Epilepsy drugs works for migraines do to the common factor of being neurological. I wouldn't recommend epilepsy meds for migraines.

Try Excedrin Migraine. It is the only medicine that ever touched my migraines. Also fluctuations in hormones can trigger a migraine. The key I found for me was to 1) stay well hydrated with water and 2) take Excedrin Migraine upon first sign one was developing. It was a miracle medicine for my son as well.

Could be meds or just that many epileptics also get migraines. I developed epilepsy at 14. I developed migraines at 25 when I got pregnant with first child. Soon after migraines started, the seizures got much harder to control. I read somewhere that most people with one nervous system illness will develop 1 or more. (autism & epilepsy) (epilepsy & migraines) etc. It's different for most people.

I heard that migraines are another form of epilepsy. I know a couple of people who have migraines and are take Seizure meds for them.
