how does relpax work

I guess if I cover all possibilities, I will be better informed on how to manage this. I am grateful that the Relpax actually works when I do get a migraine, and it allows me to stay at work or looking after my boys, rather than is bed in a darkened room or in the emergency ward on morphine. My challenge is just to balance everything better. Thanks again for the replies, it has helped to conform that I am on the right path.

Also, In case your insurance doesn't cover your entire Relpax prescription, I am posting a link to a coupon for $15 off of your Relpax prescriptions. You apparently can't use this coupon if you have any sort of federal or state insurance, or if your private insurance covers 100% of the prescription. Otherwise, you can print this coupon and use it every time you fill your Relpax prescription (but it expires next April).

I have the EXACT same thing. I've tried Imitrex tablets (no help since I threw them up), Imitrex Nasel Spray (once again, no help because I threw it up), Imitrex Injection (have you tried this? I couldn't keep taking because of an allergic reaction). Another good option is Relpax. It is a tablet BUT one of the benifits is that it helps with vomiting also. I did fine on this and I'm a huge vomiter (yuck, lack of a better word). Sure wish I had insurance still...

I had a similar problem with Maxalt (a drug in the same class as Relpax-they are both triptans). My insurance would only cover 12 pills, and I need more. My doctor filled out the necessary paperwork for my insurance co., saying I need more than "typically alotted". The pharmacy division of your insurance co. can give you more info. If that's not possible, have you tried another triptan? Maxalt, Imitrex, and Relpax all work for my migraines. Good luck!

Here is a quiz - take your finger and press the middle of your shoulder between your neck and where a bra strap would hit. Work your way up to your neck - does any of those points hurt? If so, then phys. therapy can definitely help. In all honesty - I think if helps no matter what even just to get a good excercise list for prevention of headaches. If those points are extremely tender, then I would ask for that electrical stimulation procedure. It can get the blood back in those muscles.

My 18 year old son has terrible migraines and has tried the Imitrex also with terrible results. He has been using the Relpax and within 20 to 30 mins and only one Relpax pill the headache is gone! He suffered so many years wiht Migraines and now with his dose of Nortriptylin and his relpax as a backup he is living headache free. Definitely try the Relpax.

m desperate and have no Relpax, I take Naprosyn and Sudafed, which work somewhat. But these headaches can last for up to four days. Pain meds like Lortab are a complete waste of time: like killing an elephant with a flyswatter. If it were a pinched nerve, you'd think a hard-core narcotic would work...but it doesn't. Thanks for your help! Prayers to my fellow headache sufferers...I know I'd rather have the flu than a migraine headache (or whatever these things are).

What is the best way to treat migraine, when you've taken the medicine your Dr. has given you, but it's not working? I take Relpax 40 mg., sometime it helps and sometime it doesn't.

Been on a lot of different meds and nothing seems to truly work. If my headache is an actual migraine, then relpax does work for me. However, I've been having this pressure at the top of my head for weeks now and it has gotten much worse. When I take relpax for it, it makes it a little better, but not 100%. The pain sometimes goes behind my eyes and then I can't even do my job..which is computer related. Now is pain has moved to the back of my head to the right side behind my ear.

(I miscarried this week so this is all irrelevant now as far was asking what I can take while pregnant. Good for future use tho!) Well I learned something interesting in the first nurse visit for my pregnancy. She told me that when we're on our period or pregnant the high hormone levels cause swelling in the membranes. This is what has confused me for years and no other doc or nurse has ever explained it. This swelling is what mimics the sinus pressure.

Flob Thank you, I only take the midrin when I feel a headache coming on so about 2-3 on a headache day. Relpax I take 1-2 a day and they work great but cost a small fortune even with insurance. dame_wilbur Thank you as well. I do believe there is a problem with the cortizone but to get into my orthopedic Dr it's a month waiting on visits. I am having alot of pain from the injestion site up into my neck so I do think something went wrong with the last injection.

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.

What anti depressants has anyone had success with? Also. how is everyone dealing with the medical bills? Is there a way to get support somewhere because we have a disability? Has anyone used the pronex? How did you like it, would you recommend it, did it help the pain?

Looking down and relaxing my eye helps. Also, my doc ruled out migraine. I get those and Relpax work fine for them, but not for this. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks!

I went back to healthcare facility beginning of 3rd week and was tested again for flu and this time blood work and chest x-ray. No infection and no prescriptions. Went straight to ER and they did MRI. No findings and was given another stack of meds to take for one week. This is the beginning of the 4th and I still feel soooo bad and still loss of voice.

They are suppose to strip my membranes how does that work? Does it hurt.

m wondering if anyone can point me to a thread where it explains exactly how one starts on suboxone, how it works, and how long you are on it for? Any info would be so greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

I have 5 days till my due date and baby doesnt seem to want to come any time soon. The doctor said is I went to 41 weeks they would probably induce me. How exactly does that work? I thought it was just some kind of medicine they gave you through an IV but a friend said something about them sticking a needle up there. Im a little freaked out, could someone please explain it to me?
