I've taken a pain pill (oxycodone) with and without the Thorazine when I had an attack and the Thorazine definitely helped me feel at least tolerable sooner. It also really wiped me out (but I'd prefer having to sleep for a day or two than deal with the pain a minute longer than necessary). It will also help lower blood pressure if that is part of the problem.
You may want to ask you doctor about that one as well. Especially since it's safe to take whether your blood pressure is elevated or not.
