It is really hit or miss with medications and it really depends on the timing. If I catch it super early, before it is a full blown headache, I have better luck. Maxalt is the best for me, but only eases my headaches about 60% of the time and actually ends them less than 10% of the time. I've stared Aimovig injections for preventing and I recently had my first 12 day headache stretch for the first time over a year - I've also had about a 50% reduction in headaches since starting it. For me, knowing my triggers (I use the Migraine Buddy app to journal them) and avoiding them as well as a good preventative medication helps me more than medications after the headache has started.
