Seconding Rizatriptan. It's a game changer. It also seems to work better earlier, before the pounding really sets in, but in the worst case it still turns it down a lot.

In addition to triptans, there's another class of migraine medication that's relatively new, but given the cost and back and forth your doctor will have to do, they prefer to start with triptans: *gepant drugs like Nurtec and Ubrelvy.

Just wanted to third this recommendation, as it does defeat some of my migraines. I had brain surgery, get em every week. Rizatriptan is a life saver.
