1. Good luck. Remember, it’s just a big magnet. Be sure to not have any of your credit cards on you.

   Just as long as you don’t get this:

3. I have that and zolmitriptan. I had a bad reaction to the zolmitriptan. Now I am nervous about taking the sumatriptan while I am awake (I’ve only taken it and gone to sleep)

   Does it seem to work for you? Have you had to change your diet because of your migraines?

4. Heh - they let me see the shots. It was weird seeing my brain and eyeballs.

5. I’m pretty much OK with my diet- red wine gives me migraines, as does champagne and too much sugar.

   Sumatriptan… are yours 50 or 100mg? Mine are 100mg, and they usually knock me out- I can stay awake on them if I need to, but I can barely talk lol- stuttering, forgetting things etc. If you drive I would say definately do not drive while on them, but I guess you know that already

6. Mine are 100MG too. And no, I didn’t know I shouldn’t drive on them, heh. I’m glad I took it and went to sleep! My dr didn’t tell me anything other than - see which one works best. Yikes. Have you tried the nose spray? I have that too, but I am all sqwigged out about using it.

7. Ugh yeah, I hated that. It didn’t help, and I just didn’t like it. Ugh Ugh Ugh, it was horrible lol.
   So far immigran seems towork fine for me, as long as I catch the migraine early- too far in and I’m a real mess, crying, screaming… lol

9. I hear vicodin works wonders but I don’t take any personally.

10. I’ve had to take Vicodin before. I know what those people on crack in the movies feel like - it makes me itch. I feel like screaming “The bugs! They’re all over me! Get the off, get them off!”

    Heh.
