Drew,

So glad that those supplements work for you! I have tried both of those (as well as many others) with no change in symptoms, but hopefully they will work for someone else, also!!!!

Triptans are the most commonly prescribed drugs to abort migraine attacks. They've been around for a while. They constrict blood vessels (and I think a few other things). They have a pretty high efficacy--much higher than any of the preventative meds, and the side effects are transient, instead of all the time, which is quite nice. Most doctors will only prescribe 11 doses per month because any more than that can actually trigger "rebound headache". Luckily, my episodes are infrequent and have a known trigger, so hoping this is a good long-term solution for me.

Will update if anything changes, in case it's helpful to anyone else. Everyone's symptom profiles and medication reactions are unique, so it's hard to tell if this will help anyone else, but I figure it's worth a try.
