Yes, you can: There is no interaction between the two. Remember, migraine headache should always be taken seriously and its nature established by a detailed history and focused examination by your physician.

Yes: Yes, they do not work the same, so they do not interact. In fat, due to the limits that insurance companies put on the distribution of drugs like maxalt and imitrex, (sumatriptan) allowing only about7 pills a month on average, most of my patients try to extend their months supply and try things like advil or excedrin migraine first.
