I am notorious for my HA and I swear by it even for my migraines. I hate taking pills and it seems that everything makes me nauseous but these are great for me.

Like said before, works for some, not for others.

Good luck.

My pcp prescribed it for migraines. Insurance wont give me more than 9 tablets of imitrex per month. I have more migraines than 9 and sometimes I need to take 2 tabs. It helps 90% of the pain but doesnt take it away. It does show up on drug test so you have to tell them you have a prescription.

Try Midrin (APAP, isometheptene and dichloralphenazone). Also called Duradrin. Even works on my migraines if I catch them fast enough, without that nasty chest & neck pressure I get from triptans. Also low dose Inderal and Mag-Ox prophylactically seems to keep the frequency down.
