.....mit...i've always used the 5 mg zomig ns, but there is a 2.5 mg version......at least as seen online. never used more than one per hit/dy, but they worked nearly every time, and better all ways around than suma. also used very judiciously as i was petrified of rebounds, and the thought of my "last resort abort" causing MORE hits was too much to contemplate... ....interesting your methodology.....i found that a certain tilt back of the head, plug opposite nostril and with just the right amount of inhale (less than a snort) was ideal. not enough and it dripped out, too much and the awful flavor coated my throat.....neither effective.... ....goes to show....we gotta find how our meager tools work for our specific case...it's beyond sad when folks only try one dosage for a med like verap, or poor mask/technique/flow for O2, and give up because "it don't work for me".....when more likely it may just be that that way or that dose doesn't....keep trying..... best jonathan

I know that you can take 15mg of zomig nasal spray and still live. I had a killer hit one time and took the 3rd dose within 1 hour after the first one. It did abort the hit but I had rebound headaches that went on for well over a week. Looking back on it I don’t know if it was worth it. Desperate times can make you do desperate things. Kind of a weird thing, I found that if I snorted the spray rather than spraying it in like the direction said It was more effective.

Nasal imitrex is buffered differently than sq injection. I don't think its a good idea because it might cuse cell damage locally or not be absorbed. This is a theoretical answer but dividing cartridge doses into 2 mg aliquots is a good alternative if vials not available. It odd that vials arent available because Canadian pharmacies sell them to the US. Imitrex overuse can cause chest tightness or stomach pain because of vasoconstriction. Generally speaking younger folks (sub 55 or so) can tolerate more doses. Using oral version isn't much help for acute pain of a cluster. Rebound headaches seem to be dose and frequency related. Oxygen properly used is your best friend for acute attacks
