Best and Worst Medicines for Migraines?

[JohnK]

Hi all, I seem to be developing vestibular migraines with pollution as a trigger.

Since I've been twice screwed over by ototoxic medications, I'm now pretty thoroughly paranoid about what I put into my body--especially with things designed to affect the brain...

What are some well tolerated migraine meds?

Equally if not more importantly, what are ones to avoid?

I was inadvertently put on beta blockers for false high BP and it so happens to be a medication used for vestibule migraines so I was bout free for 4 months while on them. The medication was Metoprolol.
