I know how you feel. I have also had migraines since I was a kid, and chronic daily migraine for the past six years or so. I gather medication use depends on how frequent your migraines are. If they are "only" a couple of times per week there are several different triptans you can try. I know Imitrex worked for me for awhile then stopped. Relpax ended up doing the trick, but I am limited to twice a week so I don't get rebound headaches - or have Medication Overuse Headache (MOH). There are excellent posts on this website and others that explain it further. I suggest a search for them.

There are apparently a ton of preventatives too if you get migraines often enough. I have tried many without success, but I am told not to give up because there are still many more out there. It's just hard to be patient because it takes so long to get to a good dosage with each to discover it doesn't work for me. Aso, I had botox injections years ago which worked for me. I only stopped when my insurance company stopped covering them. But I understand they started covering them again, so that's another possible strategy.

I had intervenous DHE in the hospital last week, another possibility. The jury is still out on the success of that for me. I have had two migraines since, but only 1 was bad - a defininte inprovement. So the point is that there are just a ton of different ways to approach it. I do not believe there is one "sure fire" medication for all people. Every person has different biochemistry and you may have to search for what is right for YOU. Best of luck.
