I love it. This is the most effective medication for my migraine. But unfortunately it is not available in my area. Can it be purchased elsewhere?

I have had migraines for several years and have had several medications to start working and then stop but on the first day of using this medication I experienced severe nausea and vomiting. I was not suprised to hear that cafergot had been taken off the market

Comment:
I take this medication for acute headaches,I take a daily medication as well. Most times I can control the migrain with one pill. It has been wonderful as I was not able to tolerate any of the other meds that I tried for acute onset.I am Canadian and this medication has not been removed from the market.

Comment:
I've been experiencing migraine type headaches for over 30 years. Cafergot is the only "vaso-constrictor" type drug that has successfully worked for me. To all people who have taken Cafergot in the past, you can buy this drug through overseas methods, and it's safe and effective.

Cafergot has worked for me for 20+ yrs, I do not understand why they took it off the market, I am hoping they bring it back. I am wondering if anyone out there has found anything comparable to cafergot...
