Best Answer

Migraine is a genetic, neurologic disease for which there is no cure, only treatment. There are three types of medicines for Migraine attacks (which do not have to have a pain component at all).

  1. Abortives - stop the Migraine process
  2. Rescues - stop the pain
  3. Preventives - prevent attacks

There is no single *best* medication for Migraine. Each person is different, and what works for one patient will not work for another. Often it is found that a combination of medicines and approaches is best for a patient. Topiramate (Topamax) is a preventive medicine however, it is not designed to abort an attack already in progress.

For best results in diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.
