Susan is a 32-year-old white woman who presents to the clinic with recurrent migraine. She reports that she has a moderate to se
vere migraine once a week, on average. She uses SC Imitrex (sumatriptan), and most of the time the headache resolves with one dose. She was told to return for a checkup if she had to use the Imitrex more than two or three times a month. Susan is married and has four children. She experienced her first migraine at age 18 and has no other health problems. She was started on Imitrex and has had good results. She is otherwise healthy. She reports a 2 to 4 cup a day intake of coffee; usually, one of those "cups" is a double latte. She occasionally uses. Excedrin Migraine for relief of mild headache—she thinks only once or twice a week. She has never been hospitalized overnight for her migraines but has gone to the emergency room for "pain medicine" before she was started on Imitrex. A.
