Ok, but that new treximet (imitrex and naproxen combined, works differently than taking them seperately) is awesome. Two thumbs up, especially when i get bad

This worked for her but it's too expensive and she can't afford it anymore. Her insurance wont cover it.

Imetrex does work for me usually but not always. It is kind of a guessing game for when I take the medicine it can go either way. It will either work or it won't. When I get migraines I usually have no desire to swallow anything much less a pill. When I was younger I would throw the pills up but I don't really do that much anymore.
