need to take before FULL migraine strikes and it puts me to sleep
i have cut up my tablets to 10mg each and take smaller doses at any sign (light bothers me, sounds seem to be coming from bullhorns - are ALL LOUD) that way i can fight the migraine and stay at work
doestn always work - esp if take to late - then i end up puking all day in bed in dark - any moving around sets it off - just have to lay in bed and try to sleep it off (then full dosage would be okay - -but tummy wont accept it)

Worked a bit but insurance only covered for 4 pills/month...not nearly enough given that I get migraines sometimes as often as 2-3 times per week.

Works if I take it soon enough.
