All drugged up and no place to go
I went to my headache doctor today. She didn't change my preventative med, because I'm basically happy with it. But when I told her I still get a few headaches a week, and take Tylenol with codeine, she gave me new pain meds to try--because the codeine will suck me into a lifelong spiral of headache rebounds, and become increasingly less effective.
She gave me two freebies to try, to see which works better:
Zomig: zolmitriptan
Maxalt: rizatriptan
They are "5-hydroxytryptamine agonists".
How glamorous. You're supposed to take 1 pill, it takes 2 hours to work, take another if needed, and then it should last for about 24 hours.
