A 58 yo F has been suffering from daily headaches for months. They are not associated with an aura,nausea,vomiting, or photophobia. They last for 6 hours per day and occur about half the month. Her PMH is significant only for arthritis, for which she has been taking high doses of NSAIDs and acetominophen based analgesics daily for the past several months. She has been gradually escalating her analgesic dose to manage her condition. Her PE is within normal limits. Which of the following is the most likely to be effective in preventing her daily headaches?
A Behavioral modification therapies
B Controlling her analgesic use
C Prophylactic treatment with B blockers
D Treatment with SSRI's
E Treatment with TCA's

Good one! ARH is unresponsive to any antimigraine medications.
