Phil,
I have good results with Naratriptan (Naramig, Amerge). Also my nightly attacks are damped down with Verapamil
to only a 2 or 3 at the most, sleeping in installments of only 1 or 1.5 hours was wearing my down. For 3 month now I
take 2.5 mg of Naratriptan about half an hour before going to bed, and it gives me usually a full nights sleep. It must be
taken as a preventive, because it's quite slow to kick in (about 1 hour), the abortive mode is probably on suitable for
migraineurs. Sometimes I felt a bit dizzy in the morning, so lately I've switched to only half a tablet per night, The results
are almost as good and this is also good for my wallet as my insurance believes a good nights sleep every 5 days is
enough :-(
I wish you good success and pain free nights and days
Ueli
