Hi, Teri!  Yes, I love a challenge, ha ha. :)  I managed to hold off for 5 days before re-starting the Imitrex/naproxen.  The reason for using Imitrex and naproxen was to try to mimmick Treximet (expensive new drug), which works pretty well and is a combination of those two drugs.  However, Dr. Winegarner said that the Imitrex molecules in the Treximet are arranged in a slightly different way that could make them more effective and which explains why there are only 85mg of Imitrex in Treximet vs. the 100mg of Imitrex I take now.   I scraped enough money together to refill a prescription for Maxalt ($81.21 my co-pay).  I won't be able to do that every time, but managed to do so this time.  Maxalt works much better.  I sleep longer, but it is a much more restful sleep and I don't wake up with headaches.  Doctor Winegarner combines the Maxalt with naproxen, also.  There is something about the combination of the triptans and naproxen that makes them work better together.  And, when I'm using the Maxalt/Naproxen combination, my migraines are much less frequent, and again, my sleep pattern is much improved, not as many muscle spasms, etc.  I should recommend Dr. Winegarner for our migraine expert list.  He works in the Kansas City metro area (Overland Park), and he is a good man and a great doc. :)   Dr. Dana Winegarner, Mid-America Institute of NeuroScience, www.neurokc.com. 913-894-1500.
