Experiences with

Imitrex

Plus I take imitrex for breakthroughs along with excedrin migraine. I have migraines with aura no head pain but I can feel the pressure. Does anyone else have migraines like this? My migraines turn into cluster headaches lasting up to four to five days.

I forgot to ask: Did/does anyone take one of the available migraine medications such as Sumatriptan (also known as Imitrex), Rizatriptan (Maxalt), etc. at the onset or during your migraines? I have had a few migraines in the past and the Imitrex was often able to abort the full-on aura, etc.

As for treatment, I took Imitrex the first few days but am now over the weekly limit so now am defenseless against them. Today I had three and just rode them out without any medication.

I am finding that my imitrex worsens my anxiety symptoms especially palpitations. Am I nuts or have any of you experienced this? I was afraid to take it this am so ended up having iv toradol. Only helped a little.

I mentioned it to my Dr again about 1 yr ago and was given imitrex 25 mg 9 Pills a month. Once I felt the headache start I take one and it takes about 20 mins and the headachr goes away. She also did an Mri with no dye. That was normal and I got bloodwork for inflammation and that was normal.

My go-to med for the last 20 years has been sumatriptan (Imitrex). It usually works. I've tried rizatriptan and frovatriptan, but they don't do much of anything for my migraines. Prior to February I was getting 4-9 migraines a month, which is pretty normal for me.

I am on verapamil, Topamax, I can take what's called a migraine cocktail when one is starting to come on or I can take an imitrex. I just recently had my second chiropractic visit to see if I can get relief with that. Anybody have any other ideas I can try.

I’m taking generic imitrex and my neurologist just added in generic Zofran for the nausea. I’m waiting to get my Aubagio started and have been off of Avonex for a few months now in the interim. I’m open to any tricks or suggestions that others wouldn’t mind sharing.

But you wont be reaching for that imitrex/sumatriptan, pain med near as much. This past week I got back into healthy eating per recommendations of the wonderful people on this site. Smoothies with fresh fruit, salads, grilled chicken.

I am allergic to Naproxen, Sulla, Chlorpromazine, Imitrex, Lefludamide, Clindamycin and Asprin so far.. I am torn. I fear the damage being done to my body by severe RD but thus far drugs have been an absolute ordeal. Perhaps in my case I should just stop.

I have chronic migraines and take Fiurecet almost daily and limited to 2 Imitrex weekly. Also have Botox injections every 12 weeks, but still not getting any relief. Any suggestions?

On Aug 6th, I went to Urgent Care about the headache, told it was a migraine and given Imitrex, and follow up with my PCP on Monday. The headache worsen, but still not as intense as a migraine, it just felt different, I explained that to my PCP so she gave me a Toradol injection.

The last migraine which was the same lasted just as long though i had no imitrex. Ive had migraines since i was a child. I knew it was coming last night. my right ear was red and hot. it didnt hit till 6 am though i went to bed at 9 pm

I don't metabolize coumadin (Warfarin) so I take an Imitrex injection daily. The other morning the bruising on my abdomen were a greenish and yellow color as if they are healing. That night they were all a dark purple color and remain that way. Why would this be?

I am now taking an Imitrex injection daily to thin my blood. Problem is my injections were donated to me by the company and I only have about 1 1/2 months left. I can't afford to get any more, as they are over $1,600 for 10 of them. Heparin is also too expensive for me to buy.

Although the Botox has changed my life dramatically I still have the occasional migraines usually a hormonal one, which I take sumatriptan for, but the tablets are taking such a long time to relieve my pain and I have been reading about the imitrex injections being a better pain reliever.

I was recently put on the Imitrex Injections. for my migraines which I've been suffering from since I was 16yrs. old.Well don't get me wrong the injections get rid of my migraines.And that's wonderful.But for 15-20 minutes after I take the injection I feel like I'm dying.Its like a huge weight is setting

I went from having 2 to 3 migraines/severe nausea, a month to 8 or 9, when I began using Imitrex. My Dr. said it was a coincidence. That went on for 20 years. I was given 6 shots a month so either suffered in bed, or went to the ER. for an additional shot.
