I have used it and find it as effective as Imitrex.

Dear Froman (no G 
Funny you should ask. My doc gave me Axert samples today. It's a *triptan and related to Amerge (which works well for my CH and migraines.)
Doc says sometimes a drug will pass FDA standards for one diagnosis and be released so that it can be made available while testing/documentation are completed for other diagnoses.
So, I wouldn't worry about it saying just migraines.
Carla (no G here, either

I used it once and it worked as well as any other triptan pill I took as long as i took it a half hour before the devastation. Actually Relpax worked faster but this worked too.
