Could you be more specific? Friend of mine suffers from them and she said docs told her to just suffer through them. Would love to hip her to medicine if it's available.

Sumatriptan - generic version of Imitrex. Works wonders for me. I believe my migraines are triggered by weather/change in pressures. I went so long suffering hours and days with migraines with no relief. Went to a doctor about 15 years ago and got me on it. I take half a pill when I feel one coming on. I know one is coming even before the headache part starts. Within an hour I have relief. Insurance only covers 9 pills for 30 days, 100mg. Against medical advice, I split them in half to give me more relief beyond the insurance mandated 9 migrants. Works just the same. I would recommend it to anyone suffers from migraines. I do know it doesn't work for everyone. Some people have different symptoms during their migraine episodes.

I use Rizatriptan, generic maxalt. I like it because it has a fast acting melt version you put under your tongue. It tastes kinda bad but in my experience does actually work faster than the regular tablets (which still work pretty quickly for me too).
