Maybe I’m just slow at realising the difference between brands but man that makes a huge difference! I know in some countries different brands are allowed to work differently but here they’re meant to have the same active ingredients and all work the same so it’s really weird but I’m glad I’ve found this out. It’s worth the extra money. Sorry for the random essay just sharing my sumatriptan excitement I’m glad it works for you too!
I take Imitrex too but I think it's the generic. It does take over an hour to work. The one that really knocked my migraines out was Maxalt but my insurance would rather pay for sumatriptan so....
