• Opioids ≥ 10 days a month during the 90 days prior to screening
• Combination medications (eg, Fiorinal® ≥ 10 days a month)
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or other simple medications > 14 days a month during the 90 days prior to screening

• Patients on chronic warfarin sodium;
• Patients taking monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) inhibitors;
• Patients on unstable dosages of chronic medications during the 3 months prior to and through screening, or who are not willing or able to maintain a stable pre-study dose throughout study participation;
• Patients with more than 6 migraine attacks a month and/or more than 14 headache days a month (based upon patient self-report);
• Patients with hemiplegic migraine or migraine with brain stem aura or other forms of neurologically complicated migraine;
• Patients with atypical aura;
• Patients with prolonged aura (more than 1 hour).
• Patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack;
• Patients with a history of migralepsy or a concurrent diagnosis of seizure disorder;
• Patients who cannot differentiate between a migraine headache and a tension-type or cluster headache or any other non-migraine headache;
• Patients with a history of more than 10 tension-type headaches per month;
• Patients with a history of cluster headache;
• Patients with a diagnosis of ICHD-2 "probable migraine";
• Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (screening blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg despite appropriate pharmacotherapy);
• Patients with severe renal impairment (defined as serum creatinine > 1.9 mg/dL);
• Patients with serum total bilirubin > 1.9 mg/dL;
• Patients with serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or alkaline phosphatase > 3 times the upper limit of normal;
• Patients with positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody.
