Triptans do not abort my migraines. Hell, I suspect placebo might even outperform them for me.
The worst part: you pretty much have to pay a $1000 tax if you present at the ER with a migraine, because they will not believe you. People will be in a rush, they will not examine the giant history in the EHR spanning years and years, and you will be likely be suspected of drug seeking. So you have to say yes. $250 for a useless injection of sumatriptan and $750 for an hour of continuing to lie in pain on a bed until they hopefully realize you're telling the truth.
