I have had migraines since childhood. Imitrex was great, but does not seem to work now. I would get a prescription from the doctor to keep just in case. Most regular doctors automatically prescribe Imitrex. I think it was the first triptan medication available. I have found that taking either Zomig or Amerge with three advil help mine a lot. You can also drink a coke with caffeine in it quickly. This may help some. The prescription helps with the migraine and the advil helps with the pain of it. Also, I take birth control pills without the placebo. This helps regulate migraines brought on by your period (change in hormones).
Good Luck!
