text: what is the name of the medicine that can reduce the pains for migrain headaches?   i get presciption imitrex.  i give myself a shot in the arm.  you can also get it in pill and nasel spray.  thing with migraines is that some people will vomit when they have their headache so the pill is of course not good for that.  the nasel spray is nasty when you spray it and then you taste it.  see the link below.  it is a savior medicine for me.
