Again this morning.  Woke up with it.  So, I tried the Imitrex that the Dr. gave me (samples).  This is its second chance.  It's been 3 hours, I'm thinking that if it was going to work, it would have by now.  S now maybe she can prescribe me something else.  Apparently BlueCross insists that you first try Imitrex  before they'll pay for anything else. It's the oldest, and cheapest.  Yay, now my insurance company is dictating my health care.

ETA: After about 5 hours, the pain turned into only a dull pressure, but I'm still very dizzy and nauseated.  A friend says that Imitrex makes her that way.  I don't know, I started out that way.  It certainly is not a complete success.

Ugh, much sympathy.

I haven't had a migraine scrip in several years, as I only get two or three a year anymore. *touch wood* And I was lucky enough that Midrin was both relatively inexpensive and the first one my neurologist had me try.

Best of luck getting the right one for you soon. Blue Cross' formulary rules drive me up a tree.
