Gap in taking Pizotifen

Having had migraines for 50 years I have finally found some success taking Pizotifen 0.5mg nightly.

I have been taking them for about 4 months but ran out and missed a dose before I managed to get any more. What followed was a 72 hour migraine, couldn't take the next dose as was being sick. But hopefully back on track now.

Have others had this experience when they stopped taking them?
