Is There An Inexpesive Alternative To ZOMIG ZMT?

I HAVE USED 2.5 ZOMIG ZMT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BECAUSE I CANNOT TOLERATE THE REGULAR SWOLLOW TAB. HOWEVER, DUE TO A CHANGE IN OUR DRUG INSURANCE AT WORK IT NO LONGER COVERS THE ZOMIG ZMT. I AM TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS AS RIGHT NOW IT IS COSTING ME OVER $200 OUT OF POCKET EVERY 6 TO 8 WEEKS WHEN I HAVE THIS REFILLED. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
