Headaches/migraines with autism

Hi, my ds is 12 and has had cluster headaches and migraines on and off for a long time. Since starting high school they've definitely become worse. He's had a few issues in high school with bullying, all of which have been dealt with quickly and efficiently by the school, but overall I feel he stresses a bit about school although not as much as he used to. Our Dr has prescribed a preventative medication for his headaches, which he says can also help reduce anxiety. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue? The medication is called Pizotifen, and my ds is already taking melatonin for a chronic sleep issue (which Dr said is fine to take both). Thanks for reading

Not experienced the migraines but DD had stomach pains for years which we went to the GP with. We've layer realised that it was anxiety related to ASD.

How's your DS doing on the medication?
