Zomig Tip....

Blake uses both Zomig and Imitrex. He gets faster results from Imitrex but says that the Zomig holds much longer....up to a minimum of eight hours. When he's having a really bad time (lots of attacks during the night) taking a Zomig at bedtime allows him a good nights sleep. Might be worth a try....

I do the same thing with Amerge!! It has a half life of 6 hours and I wouldn't have made it through this cycle without it! It allowed me to actually sleep!!
Thanks for the tip Jacks!
hugs

I agree about the zomig..it lasts a lot longer than most even though it takes about 1/2 to kick in. Since my HA's were tolerable, I could handle waiting a 1/2 hr. The preventative meds worked great for me though. That's a good tip though to do the imitrex to kick in quickly and zomig to hold you over.
