Can you just stop taking Sandomigran?

It is recommended that you slowly lower your daily dose to avoid any withdrawal symptoms. It is also important during treatment to take your doses every day, even if you feel well, to ensure it stays in your system so it can prevent migraine attacks and lower their severity.
