[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ and in a pinch, Nurtec is amazing[/quote]

Nurtec doesn't work for me as an abortive. The triptans work pretty well for me though. Everyone is different.

However, you can get a prescription to take Nurtec every other day as a preventive -- I'm doing that now and find it helps some. [/quote]

That is so interesting. My 18 year old son gets zero relief and awful side effects from triptans, but Nurtec works within an hour and completely gets rid of his migraine with no side effects. His neurologist tried him on it as a preventative every other day since he gets them 3-5 times a week and it did nothing to prevent his migraines at all. He can literally take a Nurtec at 8am and have a migraine starting by 8:15am and he’s screwed for the rest of the day because he can’t take another one until 2 days later…but if he waits until 8:15 when the migraine starts and takes a Nurtec, it gets rid of the migraine fully.

It’s strange how individualized migraines and meds can be. [/quote]
