Experiences with

Almotriptan

Yesterday I took my first almotriptan and it has really helped with pain round eyes and all over. I took it around 5pm and it is still helping today. I've also noticed that I can taste food better and my sense of smell is improved.

Taking almotriptan 20mg and 900mg aspirin 3/4 times every month for 5 years is safe? I have traces of blood in my urine since months now, I have done an ultrasound scan and a cystoscopy but it’s all clear. Can be the aspirin?

The neurologist are always banging on about the fact you should only be taking meds (Almotriptan at present) three times a week or it'll cause rebound headaches. That's all very well if you only have three headaches a week. This week alone I've had 8! What do I do? Suffer with no pain relief?

The doctor has prescribed Imigran and then Almotriptan most recently. I had a headache that lasted 13 days, wouldn't go, it wasn't like just a headache but wasn't full blown migraine, until the last day when it was the most horrible one I've ever had.
