i forgot about midrin... might work for you and there's no bad side affects. midrin worked for me only occasionally so i stick with fioricets w/codeine. don't want to take a chance with a migraine! i have had only limited success with maxalt as well.

once i had a rx for cafergot (has ergotamine) but it was so expensive that i never got it filled.

tone is right about caffeine. if you notice, a lot of headache meds contain caffeine, fioricet included, and even most of the otcs that claim to be for migraines. caffeine has a tendency to constrict blood vessels (migraines are believed to be caused by the dialation of blood vessels) but beware.... i used to drink coffee every morning so i was used to having caffeine in my system regularly. on those mornings when i was running late and either skipped my coffee or drank it late, invariably, i would get a migraine. now, the only time i drink coffee is when i feel a migraine coming on. might just be me but it's food for thought.

again, wishing the best for you.

cheers, c.(angel)
