Bob,
I SWEAR by Cafagot also. It works longer than Imitrex. I've used the supp. for years and just got a scrip for the pills, so I really don't know how they work yet.

If you're paying the full price, the pills are about $1.50 each and the supp. are about $2.

The bad news is - Cafagot can cause rebound HAs if you take it too long or too much of it. Been there too. And you CAN'T take both Imitrex and Cafagot at the same time.

But I agree, cost wise and the long lasting effects of it - I'll take Cafagot any day in place of Imitrex (But I keep both handy just in case).

Hugs BD
