imitrex and aspirin

Imitrex tablets and the Imitrex injectable pen have completely helped me. I hardly ever need the pen and can usually get away with only half of an Imitrex tab. Hormone headaches are definitely for real, get yourself some pain relief and enjoy feeling better. Take care.

I was also on Imitrex, it made me naseous for a few days but my neurologist swore by it. And it helped. I had full blown migrating every single day for almost 4 years. The one that finally broke the routine of doctors saying i just wanted meds, was the one where it placed me in the hospital. I was vomiting constantly at any light, or even the slightest noise would rack my entire body with pain.

I buy a couple meds from Canadadrugsonline.com to get a price I can afford. I looked up both the Imitrex and the Relpax and was horrified they are so expensive even in Canada. So I know for certain I can't get the here in US. I took Imitrex several years back before I lost my health coverage and seem to remember it did not agree with me, but again, I'll talk with my doctor. Dr Noopur, thank you too, I am glad to hear a patch is at least in development.

I have taken Imitrex and it is not addictive. It really works to. Please don't drive or anything until you know how it affects you. It is very expensive by the way.

Hello, about a month ago, I got a terrible headache, it started off not so bad and gradually got worse. So I started taking aspirin and the pain goes away for a few days then came back, after a couple weeks I had a sinus infection, it was really bad, and the headaches kept coming, when I get them, there is pressure in behind my forehead but when I shake my head side to side, the pain is horrible, until I take an aspirin, then it goes away.

does either imitrex or maxalt contain caffeine? I was taking Maxalt for migraines and it worked great! Now my insurance has decided I need to try Imitrex before they will approve coverage for the Maxalt. The Imitrex took about 2 hours to have any effect, but eventually my headache subsided. Since then I have had recurring headaches for 4 days.

I have it infrequently (thank God) but it is like someone stabbing a knife in the side of my head and ear. Have you tried plain aspirin?

I am so glad that you asked about imitrex! I take a triptan, like imitrex, and personally I think that triptans are the best treatment for acute migraines, and they are also the most prescribed medication for acute migraines.

s experience with the imitrex has been - good or bad - and if they have any other tips of things I can try (non-medicinal) to reduce the pain, etc., of the migraines. Fortunately, (knock on wood), I haven't had a migraine since I saw my doc on thursday, so I haven't tried the imitrex yet. I'm always leary/hesitant about ANY new medication, so would definitely appreciate any advice about this med that anyone might have. Thanks so much!

if you have one and ask about Imitrex to stop the headaches although, once you are finally off the codeine, I suspect they will go away as mine did. Wishing you the best of luck!

It feels tight and stiff, and very sore. The pain is not associated with movement, and seems to be present no matter what I'm doing (even when resting my eyes). What bothers me most about this, though, is that there is a very dull, lingering pain in the eye that lasts months after these headaches. It feels like a very dull pressure under my eyebrow near the nose, and it starts following the ocular headache and is constant thereafter.

I was think that the Imitrex pill that I was given for the them would help. But actually made me feel worse and deathly ill. So I won't touch those anymore. I still haven't been able to find a doctor that will believe and listen to me. Except my Intergrative Med Dr. and his can't do everything. I need a GI specialist that will listen to me and believe me. I am tired of not being able to eat FOOD. And am even tired of trying.

I have been put on everything from narcotics (which I refuse and hate) to Beta Blockers. (Which Do help) Currently on Propanol. But my very FIRST and ONLY time using Imitrex Oral Capsule. I took the medication and I was sitting in my reclining chair and in about 15 mins I became paralyzed for 2.5-3 hours. I had no other medications in my system. I DO NOT use drugs or drink alcohol. Only Imitrex. My husband honestly thought I was joking. I could not lift my head.

I have been having severe migraines for the past year and a half. I've been on 3 different medications including, inderal 10 milligrams which stopped working, inderal 25 milligrams which caused me to black out and get dizzy, and amitriptyline 25 milligrams, which stopped working. I'm concerned because after talking to my doctor he looked at my charts and noted that I relapse with migraines every three months. These migraines are so severe it keeps me from doing my every day activities.

I've used Esgic Plus tablets for over 12 years for daily headaches, which often turned into vicious migraines. My family doctor gave me samples to try when Esgic Plus tablets first came out. Taking only one, with my usual 'four times a day aspirin doses' didn't get rid of the headache. It did dull the headache. Taken without the aspirin, the Esgic Plus actually set off the headache to a migraine.

Some days my joints ache due to arthritis and/or weather changes. Several years ago, I discovered Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine) really helped out. Now I find that I am sensitive to it along with just aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium. My physician prescribed Tramadol to try, but that also makes me feel bum. Does anyone know of any medication that might work?

Advil is not migraine medication and can cause problems by making headaches worse. Imitrex is migraine medication that is specifically for migraine and it will stop a migraine. Most migraines do not come with aura. Take that into consideration when you get a headache that feels exactly like your regular migraine just without an aura. That means you are having a migraine. You don't need an aura to have a migraine. Take your migraine medication for a migraine.

These include Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or aspirin to help relieve mild migraines and combinations of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine specifically meant for moderate migraine attacks (Excedrin Migraine). The drug of choice however are triptans such as Sumatriptan (Imitrex), rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge), zolmitriptan (Zomig), almotriptan (Axert), frovatriptan (Frova) and eletriptan (Relpax).

Ask your doctor for Imitrex 100mg, is not narcotic, non addictive and it takes away your migraine right away. I'm also a migraine surferer and have tried a lot of medications and Imitrex works wonders.

I eated some salami took my 3 ribba and went to the farmaci and bought some aspirins. Often pills dont help on me when I take them so late after the headache has started. Anyway i asked for some water and took two pills at the farma. I started to walk towards the centrum in the town were I live , and my head felt like it was gonna burst in pieces. Is it Billstrongs migraine that has leaved him, just to jump to me I thougt .

Thank you for your replies! I am half American Indian and the other half is mainly German. My "family history" on both sides only goes back three generations before me as my great grandparents were removed from Nebraska and my German ancestors are immigrants (I believe). Nobody that I, or my mom, can think of has a history of migraines in these three generations - immediate AND extended family. My dad, who died a few years ago, was adopted and his biological mom is uncooperative.

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.

They changed me to Imitrex instead of the Maltax and added Amitriptyline at night. Still...no relief. So far I have had an MRI and an MRA but nothing showed up that would explain the headaches. About three days ago I started getting really bad neck pains that gradually would get worse throughout the day (just like my headaches / migraines). Last night it was the right side, from my temple to my jaw and down to the base of my skull and tonight it's the left side.

Imitrex is also not the only triptan on the market, there are quite a few. If you do end up using the Imitrex and you feel you have an adverse reaction to it, one that is not life-threatening but one that you do not enjoy... there are still other triptans to try.

Usually the bioavailability of a nasal spray will be higher than the bioavailability of a oral tablet, such as with the triptan Zomig, where the bioavailability of the oral tablets is 40% and the bioavailability of the nasal spray is 102% (when the bioavailability is higher than 100% it means that the medication by that route works better then it would by intravenous injection), although this sort of increase between oral administration and nasal administration is not the case with Imitrex.

i've suffered from migraines and headaches for awhile and had a similar situation once when i couldn't get rid of it for four days... They tried every migraine med, pain med, they could think of and then realized i was having a bad tension headache and all of the migraine meds were actually making it worse, something about making the muscles more ridged.
