After 11 1/2 years of 15 migraines a month and trying every medicaton and therapy out there, my neurologist put me on Benicar,10 mg per day. The results have made all the difference in the world. I can lead a normal life. I do get migraines once in awhile but they are not debilitating and do not interfer with what I am doing.

Glad to hear you'll give it some time to work. Don't make a judgement for at least 3 months and it may even take six before it has the full effect. The doctor may also increase the dosage if you are doing well and side-effects are not too bad.
