The zomig I tried was in pill form...unfortunately pills take too long to get into the system. The best med I found for treating these things is migranol nasal mist in the nostril where I am feeling the migrane...one squirt usually does the trick if U get it in time...if a bit slow...a second spray after 10 minutes if it is still comin' in for a serving of gray-matter. Problem with all of these pills is they are vasoconstrictors and if overused (how much is that????) can cause a stroke or anurism. Be careful with any that stuff. I have a copy of the physicians desktop reference...total breakdown of the drug (molecular structure, side effects, case studies, blah, blah, blah) and it scared the shit outta me...take as little as possible...more is definately NOT BETTER.
