What over the counter drugs work for migraines? -

I have migraines usually about once every couple of months. I usually use prescription Imitrex, but does anyone use anything over the counter that works? I tried one once, but it didn't help too much. I get SERIOUS migraines - numbness in my fingers, vision problems, trouble talking and then the headache starts. I also get really, really sick to my stomach. The prescriptions are starting to get expensive so I would like to know if over the counter has worked for anyone?I don't get sick because of the medicine I take. Its from the migraine itself. I can handle the headache - but being sick to my stomach for three hours! Its horrible. Do any of the OTC work for nausea?Another thing - I don't know what causes my headaches. It used to be that I would get them after swimming (I was on the swimteam and a lifeguard) but ever since I had surgery they have been more frequent.
