There are many reasons a doctor may take a patient off their Migraine medication, but one of the most frequent reasons is Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) in which a patient's brain has changed how it reacts to their medicine and instead of helping the pain, it begins to cause it.

If you miss a day off your pills, doctors encourage you to take two pills the next day. It could be dangerous to take multiple pills during a day, they do not substitute for the morning after pill so really, you're just adding more estrogen to your body and too much of anything can be harmful to your body.

Can you Outline a stepwise approach to treating migraines?

Migraines are a source of mystery for doctors. But, eating well, getting excersize, drinking enough water, sleeping well and caffeine are all considered good ways to avoid them. If you are not a caffeine user then don't start, but you can take caffeine at the first sign of a migraine to head it off. The drug will act on the blood vessels that change size when you have a migraine. If you are a caffeine user, don't stop. Cutting off the drug can cause a migraine. If you want to cut back (which might be a good idea) talk with your doctor first and do it slowly. Hope this helps!
