Common Questions and Answers about Can i take imitrex and tylenol
imitrex
I am 15 weeks pregnant and a long time sufferer of migraine headaches. Right now I am in the middle of a 2 week long migraine headache. My OB has given me Tylenol with codeine which isn't helping at all. Is there anything else that I can try that won't be harmful to the baby? I'm really trying to avoid going to the ER because I don't want to have to be admitted.
I'm 6 weeks and having horrible headaches, back pain and cramping. I wanted to know what I can take and what works. I'm a little hesitant due to having a miscarriage and I just moved out of state and can't see a doctor until next week.
Thanks. My mistake. Naproxen was on the list as naprosyn so I won't take any Aleve. I think I will not take the Imitrex, even though none of it's components are on the list. If I get a migraine, it'll have to be Tylenol.
I take Imitrex when I get them, and it usually works great, but today I have taken the maximum dose on my Rx for a 24 hr. period (200 mg) and it's still not gone. I am wondering if I went to the ER, is there something else they could do -- could they give me more Imitrex, or another triptan or something else to try to stop it? I don't want opiates. Any thoughts appreciated.
I have a long history of migraines and so had to have a med I could take on treatment. I opted for Imitrex because it is okay with the Peg, Riba, and Incivek. Interestingly enough, I have not had any bad migraines on treatment but I think that is because I know most of the migraine triggers and have avoided them like the plague.
Before treatment, I was taking Cafergot and a tiny dose of Tylenol # 3 when I got the migraines, which was not often these last few years.
Tylenol is the only thing you can take. I had the same problem when I was early in my pregnancy. I am now 38 weeks. Before, I would get headaches everyday. Bad ones. Now I haven't had any in months. I suggest drinking lots of water. That was the cause of my headaches. I wasn't dehydrated... but I was close. Just make sure your staying hydrated!
I get migraines as well and although I do not take imitrex, I to take a triptan, which is what imitrex is. The triptan that I take is called zomig, and I take a nasal spray version. There are lots of triptans on the market and imitrex is one of the first, the generic name is called sumatriptan and it is what they will give you in the hospital, but by injecteion, if you ever go in for a migraine...
I got the flu at about 26 weeks. I'm now 32.5 weeks. I was allowed to take tylenol and I took robitutisum(sp) dm for cough. I Also got throat lozenges they helped. But once my fever got over 102 I was told to go to my normal dr. They ended up giving me tamaflu which I took for 5 days. Theres pros n cons with taking tamaflu. In my case it was a pro as my fever wouldn't go down with just tylenol. Keep fluids up. I'm A FTM too and baby and I are doing great.
I always get migraines with my period and at least another 2-3 a month from various causes. Imitrex 100mg is the only thing that helps me but i dont want to take it because i am 7 weeks and dont see my dr until week 10. I'm on day 2 of a migraine now. Im drinking lots of water, took tylenol, keep putting cold packs on my head and neck, but nothing is helping. Im going crazy. Anyone have the same issue or any suggestions? Help!
