It sucks, I've run out of imitrex and I had a migraine today. I took some tylenol extra strength and slept most of the day and now I"m better thankfully,\.
Imitrex is the only in the moment migraine drug that works for me. It's not a pain killer, it works with bloodflow to the brain.
I take Lamictal as a preventative
I think we're (mostly all) talking about "fast-acting" in-the-moment type migraine medicines, as opposed to pain killers. So far, all the names I have seen mentioned in regards to migraine medicine, are not for pain, but deal with the constriction of vessels around the brain. I haven't had a migraine for about 4 to 6 weeks now I think, so I'm sort of holding off on investigating a new medicine until I start another "spurt" of migraines in the future. Besides, I wouldn't want to waste the 2 or 3 relpax tabs I still have, considering they cost me ~$70 or $80. Gotta love not having any health insurance. Yeah I'm staring right at you Senate.
On a side note, in this morning's news "It is reported that except for the members of the 2 committees that have drafted health care proposals, none of the other Democratic Senators have even read the bills."

Glad to hear you made it through even without the imitrex.
