it was recently pointed out to me by a neurologist that often 'headache doctors' don't know very much about migraines, amazingly enough ;)
Could you switch to decaf tea? the caffeine in colas and that's in almost all migraine meds will be able to help more the more foreign it is to your system.
*thinks* I'd recommend keeping a diary of what you've eaten and been around as well, if you haven't tried so already. Red meat, mature cheese, and alcohol sometimes trigger migraines in me. (And cigarette smoke always.) Which doesn't mean I have to avoid them completely, I just have to be very mindful.
Also, meds that I think you take, are known to often cause migraines, because one of their side effects is how they restrict blood flow to the brain. Not sure, if that's it, there's much to be done :/
