* metaprolol (pulse-slowing beta-blocker): fewer attacks per month, "dampened" attacks, bad side effects (fatigue, energy loss, dark moods)
* magnesium supplements: no noticable effect (they say it might have an effect if you happen to get too little through your food)
* vitamin B: no noticable effect
* simvastatin (cholesterol lowering medicine): some fewer attacks per month, but attacks when they come seem full strength
* candesartan (also a blood pressure medicine): much fewer attacks per month, "dampened" attacks, very few side effects, current "winner"
(CGRP's are expensive, haven't tried.)
For stopping attacks, triptanes work well.
