Suggest Medications For Severe Migrane

I suffer from severe migraine headaches. My family physician wants me to see a neurologist. I have seen one in the past and was told that my headaches are probably caused by my arthritis of the cervical spine. At that time, the neurologist told me to treat it with moist heat to try to ease the pain and cold to try to prevent it. Unfortunately, neither of these have been working. I have a headache every day, it s just a matter of what degree it is, and don t know where to turn. Please help me!
