I have suffered from migraines for 20 years.  I have been treated with imitrex, oral and injections, steriod injections, accupuncture, weekly chiropractor apptmnts, countless painkillers, (darvacet, vicaden etc.) and recently relpax and topamax.  It has become such a part of my life, I can't imagine life without them.  I usually wake up with them, mostly in the middle of the night, which is strange because I am sleeping.  Relpax seems to be the only drug that works that doesn't give me any side effects or any rebound headaches.

However, lately, I have been needing more and more... sometimes up to 20 40mg pills per month.  (Thank god for insurance or this would cost around $550 a month) as it is it is $70 a month.
