This is great stuff. Started this when it was an self-injectable.

I now use Imitrex injections. The weird thing is that at first it makes me feel worse - a lot worse, but after abnout 1/2 hour the headache begins to pass and after an hour the headache is gone. I only use it when the headache is bad enough to suffer the initial worsening.

It worked but since I started useing medical marijanna I have not needed to take them in almost 3 yrs

The pills worked for me for a while, now it only works in injection form. Unfortunately I'm a sissy so I just switched meds, but I know it's there if I need it.

works great but wears off too soon.

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

Helps greatly 80% time with an attack. No preventative benefits thogh and has hangover each time. Which means when i'm not having an attack, i'm sleeping off the drug. My bosses love me(irony)
