I do the injection. It is painful going in but I've learned to alternate legs and that has helped some. It really knocks my migraine out fast. Much faster than when I take Relpax.

I have to use injection. Would just throw up the pills. Hurts going in but once I start to feel some relief, it's worth it. Get occasional bruising and bleeding at the site of the injection. Also feel my chest tighten but then it goes away.

Switch to the tablet.. it comes in 25 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg

I used it in the past, it takes effect much faster by injection. I did not like giving myself a shot. I use the new onzetra abortive but you have to have bcbs or another insurance carrier that covers it. It's new, works quickly through your nose. You can get a sample from your Dr. And can also get a free first prescription from their website if your Dr. Prescribed it and your insurance does not cover it. They will work with insurance carriers.

I use the imitrex pills and injections. I've gotten use to the pain of the shot. I do get the tightness in my jaw along with some redness at the injection sight. I also get really chatty but have slurred speech. Also sleepiness. But once I sleep, I wake up feeling so much better. I just can't take it and go to work or take it and drive.
