[quote=Anonymous]Use an abortive, if the one you use doesn't work for you, try another one. Also take it at the first sign of migraine, don't wait until it's full blown. If you have a very important day where you cannot get a migraine, you might be able to take it preemptively even (I used to do this with triptans before I switched to Botox for chronic migraine, for work trips or vacations). Talk to your doctor about this use though -- not sure if want to do this with Nurtec.

Study/practice mindfulness or meditation. I use a mindfulness practice to help me deal with the pain while I wait for the medication to kick in. If possible I do it in a totally dark room with eyes closed. If that's not possible, just eyes closed. Part of the routine involves a full body relaxation technique. Breathing awareness is also essential. This work helps you get through it without an anxiety spike. And you could use it to help deal with anxiety about getting another.

CBT is also useful for anxiety.[/quote]
