I was just wondering about anyone else's experience, and was wondering if they felt that the longer they used imitrex the less it worked?

Thanks for the prayers.

I like your name, by the way.

I am wondering how you got 5mg of Imitrex?

I agree with Peppermint that the most commonly liked (and refilled) triptan is Maxalt.
A person I know has used them all, and Maxalt is the one she prefers.

I have even seen chronic migraineurs use 100mg of Imitrex tablets EVERY DAY... try getting YOUR insurance to approve that one!
