I should give the rest of the story. They gave her Dilaudid for the headache, which got it down to where she could function, and the Compazine was going to be for the nausea associated with that. With that unavailable, she got the old reliable Phenergan, which she's taken before with success, and that worked. She's also had a CT scan and MRI, and we're still waiting for the results of the latter. Last time she had a migraine was when she was pregnant, and my stepson is 23 (no, she's not, she's had a hysterectomy). Gills, she does have a prescription for Sumatriptan, which I happen to take myself (I have a seizure disorder and migraines), and is the generic for Imitrex, but the problem is, you have to take that at the very onset of a headache for it to be effective, and she's had this same headache continuously for weeks now, so the Sumatriptan does very little. Personally, I say that with unexplained migraines that have been going on for weeks, she needs to see a neurologist. Her doctor says that's "jumping the gun," since we don't have the results of the MRI yet. I say that's bull, no matter WHAT those results are, she needs a neurologist, and the only reason I haven't scheduled an appointment myself is that I don't want to alienate this doctor that my wife likes a lot. But I'm not going to wait much longer.

Sorry to highjack a thread..
