I have been experiencing severe headaches for 45 days and insomnia. My neurologist suggested medications, but I am concerned about their side effects. Can I trust these articles, and are there alternative medications?

Proper medical care and follow-up are necessary for severe headaches and insomnia lasting 45 days, not haphazard internet posts. Trust your neurologist's advice over general articles because it is based on your unique diagnosis and safety profile. Talk to your neurologist about your worries and options if you're worried about side effects so they can create a safer plan.
