Rizatriptan is the newest and most inexpensive migraine medicine I have recently been prescribed I was given twelve of a thirty pill amount. The instructions were to take one pill at onset of headache and take a second two hours later if headache still unresolved. Mold, Trees, Grass, environmental allergies were very bad so I am not sure about this triptan medication but my medical insurance would like me to use it because it is cheaper for them. It was 5 mg I don't know if I can get stronger tablets

No, sometimes allergies can make migraines etc more severe. Two tablets may not relieve the headache Urgent care or ER are usually not empathetic regarding migraines or headaches Darkness, fluids, sleep if you can, quiet are also helpful to get rid of migraines. It was 10 mg tablets I always start on lowest dose because I have had allergies to medicine mostly penicillin but it was anaphylaxis shock I can't have shellfish, fish, peanuts, or iodine They keep my records at my primary hospital+a local hospital.
