Morphine? Why not get a prescription for Imitrex?

• stordoff 11y ago
  Sumatriptan isn't a cure-all for migraines. I suffer from near-constant migraine-like headaches (sometimes diagnosed as migraines, some not - depends on the consultant), and they are actually worsened by sumatripan. Morphine seems a little strong, but having tried every offered non-opiate medication (amitriptalyne, sodium valproate, gabapentin, propranolol, topiramate etc.) and only had any success with opiates (tramadol and codeine), it doesn't seem that unlikely.

    Thanks, fair enough. I shouldn't have assumed the first-line approaches for migraine would work for everyone.
