Do you only take sumatriptan pills? If so, if migraines are a bad on-going problem, they do offer injectable sumatriptan that you can inject yourself. I used to have ones that I injected into my thigh. I'd find that in as little as 10 to 15 minutes the migraine was pretty much gone. There would be almost a cool/pleasant rush feeling that would go straight to my head and extinguish it.
