“never had a migraine that kicked him in the head with pain so severe that it. . .”

well I surely have. Demerol works nicely. You still feel the pain, you just don’t care about it nor anything else. You could never be able to take care of your family while on it, for instance.

Zomig words like magic so do a number of other vasodilators all of which carry side effects that do not include complete underfunctioning.

They take away the cause of the pain and are way more effective than opiates.

People who depend on opiates for long term problems are not functioning effectively.

Yep, opiates aren’t good for functioning normally. Dietary changes have helped me the most, but I still need Maxalt regularly and a Vicodin occassionally.

Actually, I discovered Toradol six months ago and have decided it’s a wonder drug. It’s non-narcotic and provides fast pain relief with a self injection. It’s kept me out of the ER. Unfortunately, there’s a national shortage of it right now. So I have to use it sparingly.

Heh. You mean vasoconstrictors. Vasodilators would make a migraine worse.
