How it works
Serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) agonists that constrict dilated cranial blood vessels and block trigeminal nerve pain signals at the source.
Prescription required in most countries. Avoid in cardiovascular disease, stroke history, or uncontrolled hypertension. Overuse beyond 10 days per month causes medication-overuse headache.
Multiple large RCTs demonstrate triptans produce 2-hour pain freedom in 30–40% and meaningful response in 60–70% of attacks — superior to all OTC alternatives.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
