I found a triptan

But there is now a developing consensus that too frequent triptan usage produces rebound headaches. Not quite clear where the danger starts, but perhaps anything more than twice a week. Of course your insurance company might inadvertently protect you against this danger by restricting the number of pills they will pay for. <g>

It is not nearly widely enough known, but any frequent treatment of headaches with analgesics (like tylenol on up) is likely to produce rebound and chronic headaches.
