My mother who used to have heavy migraines used to visit her neurologist very often and every time she would go he would increase her dosage of medication. I would always go to her appointments as a translator there for I was aware of her situation and how her doctor would increase her dosage of medication. Every time she would visit her doctor she would complain about her headaches and how the medications were not working and she would always request to increase the dosage as it would not affect her at all (decrease her migraines). It was then that in her last appointment when she asked the doctor to increase her dosage, her doctor replied with "I can't, It is too dangerous to increase the dosage more than the given one"). She then said that she would prescribe another drug which she said that it would work, she didn't mention that it was a placebo drug to my mother but I came to find out later on that it was. She was told to take it every night before she slept. It seemed to work because my mother all of a sudden started saying that if it wasn't for the new prescription she wouldn't be able to get out of bed. In fact, she made sure that she would sleep without taking her medications, and the days that she had forgotten to take her medication she would have migraines because she had believed that if she doesn't take her medications the next day she would get migraines which is what happened. She really believed in her newly prescribed medications as a mean to avoid getting migraines.
