All triptans are limited. Imitrex, 6 injections per month. I used nasal spray instead of injections back then. Both injections and nasal spray work instantly while pills do not and since timing is of the essence it is quite usual that injections would work while pills do not. These are limited because overuse leads to what is called rebound attacks.
