I know its been talked about before, but not for a while, so I will pass the word that I can get a great nights sleep taking an Amerge, or naratriptan, tablet before bed.  It only works for about 2 nights in a row, then they wont work for about another week or so, but for those of us that get hit all night during REM phases, it is a GREAT little vacation.  Timing of taking the pill is important as well.  I know I get hit about 45min -1hr after falling asleep, so I make sure  to take the pill 1 hr before trying to go to sleep.   Of course its not a good abortive, but, like I said,  its a nice little vacation for me, and maybe for others, because its longer lasting than other triptans.  I am also taking verap, and I dont know if that is helping it to work through the night or not.  Ask your docs.  :D

What is your Verap dose? (Assume taken daily.)

480mg verap,  but it does nothing on its own anymore.  It helps at the beginning of a cycle, in fact i dotn know why I bother taking it anymore.

Yes.

Back when I used Triptans, Amerge always gave me a much needed night or two off from the horror of waking to K8 or worse. Better in that respect than any other Triptan - yes, chronic for over 13 years gave me extensive experience with all of them -even blending them under medical supervision.
