Im not saying it wont help your migraines, but this is one of the newest models.
Sorry about my vent.
To answer you, I think it helped with my "racey head" but I wasnt good for much while on it. It was a depressing drug for me.
The cognitive thing I cant say. I was trying to stop thinking and sleep.
I dont like the fact that I have to keep increasing the dose. For me Im sure there are more straighforward sleep aids.
So, Im switching.
Good luck. Migraines are the worst. I really hope you find something that works .
peace
Ima
