BETTER DRUGS Researchers have long known that a brain chemical called serotonin plays an important role in triggering migraine headaches. For reasons that are still unclear, serotonin sometimes floods the blood vessels of the brain, causing them to constrict. The body then overreacts, sending serotonin levels plummeting and forcing the blood vessels to expand to several times their normal size. This cycle of contraction and expansion results in the headache's characteristic throbbing pain. In 1993 Glaxo introduced a drug called Imitrex that allowed doctors for the first time to prescribe something that was specifically designed to interrupt the cycle...
