Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

Another reason many doctors don't like to prescribe opioids is that they literally cannot stop a Migraine attack, and it's better for our health to stop an attack as soon as possible. They can only mask the pain for a few hours. If the Migraine is gone when the meds wear off, it doesn't mean that the meds did it; it means that the Migraine ran its course.

I don't know how many of the triptans you've tried, but there are now seven of them. Each binds to different combinations of serotonin receptors, so it's worth trying them all. Injectable DHE and Migranal Nasal spray are ergotamine Migraine abortives.

You might also find THIS ANSWER from our Ask the Clinician column enlightening.
