Common Questions and Answers about Can i take imitrex with excedrin

imitrex

Avatar f tn Sometimes if you can find a kind soul to give you a really good neck, shoulder, and upper back massage it can help. Also the Chiropractor can really help with this kind of thing. I know money is an issue as well as insurance (I'm in the same boat) but it may be more affordable than you think. Just call around and check. I think with this kind of thing, relaxation techniques, meditation, massage, pretty much the more natural, the better. Hang in there chica!
1046692 tn?1255391835 Is it safe to take Lexapro and Imitrex? There is a warning on the package against this but I thought I would ask the professionals first.
Avatar f tn Ugh,man.Ty dosent do anything for me.But thank you.Maybe if I try to take a nap.
Avatar n tn pills. If I am wise and take one as soon as I feel one coming on, I can stop it with one half of the pill. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to take the other half. That's just one way of stretching them. Also, I have my Dad buy them for me in Mexico where you don't need a prescription and they are about $50.00 for 9 pills. ig_me: I feel you with the Fiorinal.
1103688 tn?1257894552 ve had migraines for as long as I can remember, and have tried different types of treatments. I take 50 mg of Topomax daily as a prophylactic preventative, and it's greatly reduced the number of severe headaches I get, but I still have "normal" headaches almost daily, and if I don't take care of them they will usually turn into migraines. I have Midrin as a preventative, but don't like it because it doesn't always work. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
1034911 tn?1389546066 Just a thought I have read that caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches. I know if I start to get a headache I have some coffee and that usually helps.
Avatar n tn I have tried several different preventative medications including Inderal LA, which I no longer take. I now take Imitrex 100mg PRN- but have noticed a few changes in my symptoms. I have never experienced an aura-I usually get the pain on one side(usually my left) that generates to behind my left eye. The headaches pretty much incapacitate me- I am nauseated-feel dizzy-overall malaise. Imitrex and 3 excedrin usually helped.
Avatar m tn I hear Excedrin Migraine is good...I have migraines also, I'm going to pick some up for next time I have one.
Avatar f tn Your body needs to start replacing all the vitamins you have lost and will also help with some of the depression. I take a supplement with all the b vitamins and it helps with energy and depression also with a multivitamin. I wish anyone else going through this the best of luck and keep your head up because every day is one step closer to feeling better .
Avatar n tn Oh, I dont have any Vikki, I am just doing my research of prep for when they do come. Now reading these posts, I think I will pass. My mother uses excedrine migraine but she does not get them as bad. Triptan's or Imitrex sound like the best solution if or when they hit.
Avatar f tn I have really bad migraines. I used to take Excedrin before I found out I was pregnant as it was practically the only medicine that works since I couldn't take ibuprofen because of my blood problems I had when I was a younger. However when I went to my obgyn and asked what else I could take stronger than Tylenol, she said nothing. Not while pregnant. Just Tylenol.
1508698 tn?1360215710 I too suffer from migraines, but a bit more frequently than you. The first med I tried was Imitrex, which made me very sick to my stomach. I couldn't keep it down. I tried Frova, which just didn't work. Then I tried Relpax, and that was the ticket. Keep in mind that all 3 are triptans, but that doesn't mean they are the same either. The Relpax I take makes me incredibly tired, but not sick to my stomach, and it takes care of the migraine within 30 mins.
Avatar f tn Hi & CONGRATULATIONS on 10 days! Its GREAT to see you pushing forward. About a month or (maybe a little longer) ago I started getting debilitating headaches. After many tests it was found that they are caused from stress & anxiety. I didn't think it would have been stress because I am dealing with everything going on but apparently STRESS can really make you physically sick. I don't know if this applies to you but it's a thought??
Avatar m tn Alright my question is I need a cure I don’t think I have migraines maybe I can find a solution through this website or even a doctor that will work with me to find a cure(I am in Iraq right now). I will start with Migraine medicine doesn’t work for me I have only came out of a so called migraine with Excedrin Migraine or Goodies powder is the only thing that I stand by.
444932 tn?1273980797 i have migranes, and only imitrex works on them...When it is just a bad headache i take excedrin migraine, like cathy, works great!!
Avatar f tn I was put on Maxalt and it stopped working in a couple of months and I often time had to mix it with other pills. Between appt I took excedrin extra strength, I was taking 3 or 4 pills for two hours. The new pills they had put me on was a "pre migraine pill" imitrex and a once you get a migraine pill" Fioricet. But the Fioricet is beggining to stop working. I am getting migraines multiple times a day and its really getting to me. I've had a MRI done before but it was clear.
Avatar m tn I find that if I drink very strong coffee just as a migraine is coming on, I can abort it. Once it really takes hold it is too late for coffee. I also have identified certain triggers, one of which is having alcohol if I am overheated and feeling logy (such as on a hot summer day). Just staying in the hot sun without a hat can sometimes do it too.
Avatar f tn m sorry you can take Imitrex. For me it is a lifesaver. I also take Excedrin but found that you can get rebound headaches from them as well. I was taking too many of those and actually had to wean down from them. Can you imagine....weaning down from Excedrin? How pathetic, but I guess it's the addict in me. LOL. I did find that when I cut back on those the headaches were less. I do think that the caffeine will help you with the rebounds. Keep strong! God Bless you.
6323845 tn?1381188828 I am 7 weeks pregnant and normally take excedrine for my migraines but I looked it up and it can cause a miscarriage what is something safe I can take or just something natural that would help?
Avatar f tn Now I have only had2take my prescribed meds3-4times n the last5-6+months.Thats awesome.I take excedrin when I get headaches.No other otc med works except that but its huge2go so long w/o taking the prescibed meds I took for so long.
Avatar f tn I take 2 pills at the onset of a headache up to 6 pills a day. Lately I need to take 3 to 4 pills a day for relief. Today 6/12/2015 I woke up with no headache and did not take any pills. By midday I started getting a slight headache and took two Excedrin. I have gone 24 hours with no Fioricet and hope to be able to make it for 2 more days to get the worse of it over with. Am drinking lots of water, pedialite and will take more excedrin if headache returns.
Avatar m tn 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...
489786 tn?1255692879 ve taken many of the triptans and had good luck with all except Imitrex (got terrible rebound headaches!!!). Excedrin migraine, if I take it right away, works OK now that I take the topamax daily. I hope you get some relief soon.
Avatar f tn I did, I have migranes and was given pamalor, it worked really good for me, I stipped taking it and I am thinking I should go back on it again. I took it with imitrex. they worked fine for me. ' I have also taken wellbruten, but I don't remember why I stipped, I'm wondering if there is one med that will help with depression and weight loss and will not interfear with my sex drive? does anyone know?
518798 tn?1295212279 I have been eating advil and excedrin tension headache. I have been digging looking to see if I can find some imitrex here. I had a prescription years ago and I don't think I used them all, but that was "back in the day" and I don't really know what I have/had. With all the excitement of the weather here and my kids and husband all being shut up in this house for 2 days already, the noise and craziness has gotten to me.
Avatar n tn i can tell you that i tested positive for marijuana when i was taking 4 excedrin migrianes every day for about 6 months. i had a confirmation test which was negative and went to court and the court ordered the CPS to remove the drug screen from my records...i was invloved with CPS because i had a foster child they reoved from me because of the screen...
