midrin.
It’s the only thing that works for her.
I'm a life-long migrainer and have made the emergency room trip a few times when I've lost control of one. That is why I was curious about the drug.
I seem to recall the attempted use of Midrin during those ER runs. It was my pit stop up to the drugs that actually worked like Morphine or Dilaudid.
The last ER trip the doc would not use those drugs and instead went for the steroid/benadryl route. He said something about the morphine and Dilaudid causing rebound.
Anyways, I use Zomig but have recently picked up the generic Imitrex to see how that works. It is the first triptan to go generic (I believe).
Oh, and something I found that helps especially at bed time is an ice pak for the head. Keeps the pain and nausea down.
