Maxalt (or preferably Maxalt MLT which melts in your mouth at same price) is very good.  It is in triptan family of drugs. You get only 9 to a Rx but since one makes me sleep, I break it in half and it works well, and I get 18 that way. 

 

Bad news it is very expensive, but my insurance covers all but $30. Good news is that I read a reliable source that said it probably would be generic in December.

 

Lately however there are sometimes it doesn't get rid of all the headache, and I have had to take something else like Fioricet or Fiorinal or Ibuprophen in an hour or 2.
