Me too. Also, at the first sign of any headache I take the Imitrex... since any headache I get can flip over into a migraine at any moment. And changes in barometric pressure are often the culprit.
The biggest problem I have is that I get so many migraines that the monthly 9 pak is not enough. For a long time my doctor ordered 18 for me per month, which was about enough. But then the lovely insurance company refused to pay for the 18.
So, the workaround was for my doctor to prescribe 9 of the 100 mg tablets, which I cut in half.
Isn't it crazy that we have to fight the almighty insurance company to get relief?
