Imitrex, 50 mg is good because you czn cut them in half which doubles the allotment from insurance companies. Pills, 25 mg take 47 minutes to begin to take effect. Nasal spary 30 minutes, faster if taken with oxygen. Best results come from taking the 25mg immediately and the oxygen until the pill takes effect. Before the pill came out, and they would give me shots, i was taking 20-60 shots a month. I try and save the nasal as a last resort when I have a head banger and all else fails.
