I have had the same good experience with Amerge -- every other triptan I have tried makes me feel depressed and only somewhat relieves symptoms, but Amerge (naratriptan) kicks the migraine and makes me feel completely normal. Unfortunately after about 20 years using it, it's not quite as effective as before, but still works in most cases.

Botox was AWFUL -- my head felt bruised for three months and I had a low-level headache all that time as well. The only relief I got was with prednisone. I couldn't wait for it to wear off. And, the doc didn't inject any just above the outside ends of my eyebrows, so when I tried to raise my brows I looked like Jack Nicholson.

And Topamax... blech. Felt awful and didn't help.
