Elitriptan is the best triptan, did your doc offer it when Other triptans failed? For me all other medications have been way less effective.

Tried rizatriptan sumatriptan ubrelvy cgrp shots propranolol goodys powder advil diclofenac Nerivio device and those are most effective to least effective alternatives but none of them are even a quarter of an elitriptan. I am pregnant and have to take sumatriptan instead and it’s not killing my 6 day migraine so everyday I wake up with renewed pain and try to fix it all day… going to beg for Botox at my next neurologist appt. I have done acupuncture, the hot water in your feet and frozen head cap, hand massage which can really help the elitriptan kick in, zofran helps too and some McDonalds coke and fries. What else am I missing? I have migraines for 5-15 days a month and I’ve been hospitalized several times and had two brain scans over the years. This is a rant so thanks for listening 🩷
