How To Avoid Over Dose Of Sumatriptan Taken For Migranes

My husband gets bad migranes and has been prescribed Sumatriptan 100 mg, the problem is he continues to over medicate himself. One single dose affects his walking and he begins to slur his speech, if he takes a second dose, he is wiped out. He can hardly walk or talk. Well a couple days ago I realized he had taken 9 doses in less than 48 hours.He passed out in our yard and I took him to the emergency room.I can t get him to understand how dangerous this is. Help

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband looking to the history given here I could say that such case need to be seen by the psychiatrist who does the practice of de-addiction otherwise you do not have any choice beside that and as the history you gave here you have to make it fast before it is too late, hope you understand this, take care of him and have good day.
