Migraine Cycle

Migraine Cycle

I have a history of chronic migraines (x 15 years).  I take 100mg topomax (topamax) 2x/day to help prevent them and take 10mg Maxalt when I get one.  Lately though I've been having what I call migraine cycles.....this one is going on 5 days.  I get a migraine everyday without fail.  Sometimes the Maxalt helps, sometimes it doesn't.  Apparently I'm not supposed to take more than 2 doses of Maxalt in a month (LMAO!)...so I've greatly exceeded that just in the past 4 days....let alone what I've taken this month.

Several years ago I had to be hospitalized for 7 days and given IV meds to break a migraine cycle, I believe it was something like DHE45 or something like that.

Anyone else experience anything like this?
Any ideas other than possibly going back to the hospital???
I'm a 44-yr old female.
