But you have to work out the scenarios with your doctor first as to what caused the migraines. As I noted, Paxil is used for migraines, and if you are suceptible to migraines, the migraine therapy, if it is interrupted, the migraines will return.
I know some people prefer not to use benzodiazepines, but it is one of the better options with a problem of migraines + a serotonergic medication besides OTC medication.
