They treat migraines and cluster headaches with triptans and TBH, after all these years, that's the only thing that works for me. I've tried all of them, I think, and the original Imitrex still works the best for me.

Best of luck - I wouldn't wish these things on my worse enemy
thanks - i HOPE i'm not your worst enemy
i've had them for years, but never heard of cafergot before so i was looking for feedback/experience - thanks for the input :-)

(kelly has had horrible migraines for years - Imitrex doesn't do a thing for her, if they get really bad, Migranol works wonders - the downside is that you can only use it twice a week, max.)
