Can't get anything over the counter to work except a tube sock tied as tight as it will go around my head & chip clips pinched between my fingers lol. If I can get a friend to graciously knock on my forehead with their knuckles until it passes, even better! I have imitrex in the pill form for my migraines but it just doesn't work fast enough for my headaches in clusters
I used to use Imitrex in pill form but I dislike it for is made my stomach ill. I've not heard of the injections yet though
