Migranal vs Imitrex

It seems most people are using O2 and Imitrex. I have been using O2 and Migranal and sometimes the DHE injection when the beast comes for an extended stay. Is there a reason people don't use Migranal (I use the nasal spray which is great when out of the house)? I am concerned about the effects on my arteries but I think the Imitrex family of drugs do the same thing. The other issue is multiple doses. I try to milk my sprays just like the Imitrex tip to help me fight rebound or long duration attacks. It is a laugh to see the Migranal and Zomig literature about 1 per day or something small for monthly use. I could easily get into daily usage during the final crecendo of my cycle.

Migranal is a brand name for D.H.E. 45 (dihydroergotamine mesylate), look it up at http://www.rxlist.com/.
D.H.E. is a vasoconstrictor, like Imitrex and the other triptans. However, D.H.E. is less specific in its targets. Therefore adverse effects on the heart or on peripheral circulation are more likely.
