You could, but: You need to know that Imitrex (sumatriptan) works best if taken within 60-90 minutes following start of headache. Poor response thereafter. Maybe it would help you to have a Concierge visit, so we at HealthTap could guide you to a more successful headache management program.

Exceeding Migraine isn't working, Zomig (zolmitriptan) makes my jaw tight, and head hurt worse, I take Phenergan with it as well, Imitrex does the same as Zomig (zolmitriptan). ?
