Oooh! Noooo, stay away from Tramadol, too, Honey. It's baaaaad stuff. Doctors first started marketing it as non-addictive, so patients and recovering addicts were popping them like crazy, only to become addicted to those, too (Ultram) and the withdrawal is a mess; seizures, etc.

I'm also a migraine sufferer and I have amazing results from Maxalt. It's a rizatriptan benzoate (similar to Imitrex) and I take the 5 mg. orally disintegrating tablet. It works immediately on my migraines and after being a guinea pig for years and years (15-20 ish) I've found this is the most effective.

Good luck!
