Obviously, you should be asking your doc these questions.

If you are no satisfied with this doc, I understand that you have the right to be sent directly to a headache clinic, by-passing local docs. Conact your excellent support group for guidance on this and related issues:

Bob is correct, but to answer your question in general, lithium is a known preventative. Sometimes it is prescribed alone, and sometimes in combo with verapamil where it was called a "chronic coctail." Good? Depends on what you mean. Do talk with your doc about his reasoning here, possible alternatives and lithium side effects. Blessings. lance
