I have used ergotamine drugs over 40 years, when I started getting cluster headaches. Now my migraines are intermittent. No other migraine drugs have worked for me. Ergotamine-Caffeine Oral is easy to use and effective for migraine onset. If I get a full blown migraine before I take the drug it takes a long time to work.

Comment:
I have suffered form Classical Migraine with Aura. Prior to the availability of the Triptans, I used Cafegot on a regular basis as soon as I felt a Migraine coming on. in about 50% of my experience I was able to head off the Migraine this way. In the other 50% when the Migraine did develop, it was less severe and of lesser duration.
