Extending Imitrex NS

I have a question, we all know how to extend the Imitrex shots, but does anybody know how to extend the nasal spray?
I think there may be a way to take it apart and divide the dose into two. I know The 5mg dose was not enough, but in the early days I remember the 10mg actually worked. Even if you didn't delivered nasally, what if you put it under your tongue so that it would be absorbed quickly?
Anybody?

I have no idea if that would work.
It sounds like a question for your pharmacist.

You can get the ns in 5mg and 20mg here in the states. I have not seen any other. I have been told in europe that they have 2 doses in 1 ns where here in US there is only 1 dose per ns. I have had 5 mg work before and when it doesn't work after 10 min. I take another 5 mg. So I have taken 10mg total. That almost always does the trick for me. I have studied the ns and can not figure a way to get 2 10mg doses out of the 20mg. I certanly wouldn't put it in my mouth. That ns tastes very nasty as drainage. I can't imagine trying to swollow it. YUK!! If you figure a way to get the ns into multiple doses please let me know.
