Razatriptan is 2nd on my main list! But I haven't tried that one. There are 7 "triptans" I know of that all work, some better than others. Imitrex was top of the list on USER REVIEWS, AND tons OF THEM, so that's why I requested that one.
Do you use tablets or spray or injection? How many mg you take for each?
I really really want to also get the subcutaneous injections just to try to see. If they do work, and that fast, I would LOVE to have them. But would prefer at least a 10 supply, not just 2 or 4 of them and then have to see a doctor again. Plus, even though I got like 60 million needles while getting my tattoos, I'm still afraid of needles, and that bastard is pretty big! It's just hidden until you hit it, and then it's over, but I know it's gotta sting! But can't be worse than the headache, impossible. But just not enough to give the patient, IMO. My doc actually gave me 3 refills. So that's 24 sprays before I have to see her again. For most folks though, that's $1200 of medication!! That's gotta be fixed. Too much money for folks that truly suffer like you and I.
I only take the abortive, no preventative prescribed for me. I don't get clusters, just migraines induced by computer use, sunlight & anxiety.
How did you break your sinus and how did you or they know that may be the issue? Something has been causing mine mostly since about 5 years old. This is the FIRST thing in 45 years that a doctor has prescribed!! I feel like I found a miracle cure. And folks that have migraines would understand that - but most folks underestimate how debilitating they are to some.
