I was first proscribed this in 1972 my 2nd epeisode,, took it,and abused it for every episode untill 1997, and was given imitrex and zomeg, which works better.Like BobP I have taken way too much,.I was working ski patrol in 1977-78 while taking cafrigot , the result was frost bite of the feet, and ever since ,my feet cannot handle the cold ,I can not wear tight boots,my feet just hurt too much, so no sking, no skating.I contibue the poor circulation, and leg cramps in my lower legs to way too much cafrigot over the years. This is my opinion, not medical facts. It was the best thing for an abortive I ever had, untill imitrex and zomeg.
