Common Questions and Answers about Imitrex and excedrin
imitrex
Yes, Excedrin is Acetaminophen 250mg., Aspirin 250mg., and caffeine 65mg. Excedrin Migraine is the same formula (from what I have seen). I'm not sure why they put another label on it that says "migraine" when it is the same thing as regular Excedrin. Don't get me wrong, I think Excedrin is the best OTC pain reliever but for actual migraines....they don't touch them. At least for me.
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. In the past 2 years my vision has worsened- I have gone from 20/20 to 20/50 and 20/60- with Left eye being worse. The eye doctor does not see anything in particular in the eye exam and attributes it to my age (again Im only 28??).
Thank you so much. I tried calling a neuro, but I need a doctor's referal to go to one. The doctor I've been to just listened to me for about 5 minutes and gave me imitrex...and only 6 of them. I'm not sure if he will let me go to a neurologist or not, I have to go back and see him in two weeks, but thanks so much for your response, you're the first that ididn't actually tell me there wasn't anything to treat it.
That med is fine....not very strong for migranes though....I use imitrex for my migranes...Congrats on being pill free!!
Worked the past 3 days. Went well. The ups anddowns are tough but manageable. I have had very little cravings which is great. Emotionally uunstable. But it seems to get better each day. Main thing I am fighting now are these daily head aches. They get SO BAD. My blood pressure is not high. I take 800mg ibprofen and it doesn't even touch it. Any help or advice would be wonderful.
Yay for 10 days clean. Proud of myself.
thanx and i know exactly what you mean by the energy and motivation and it does take a little bit to get back to normal i would suggest taking some vitamins a good multivitamin i used the centrum energy and vit c and a good bit more but i wont name all of them but a good multivitamin in my mind is a must and for the energy i found that those little 5 hour power shots worked pretty good and they have the L-tyrosine in them that is mentioned in the thomas recipe to but if you do try them def dont
Hello, I'm 17 and I was diagnosed with migraines when I was 7. I've been getting them almost daily since that summer. Although with each new pill they put me on it stopped for a while. I was on midrin for a long while but I got used to it and started to max out and had the aide of other pills. 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.
} A little bit on my background I have gotten them out of shape and in shape, diet dialed in and regular sleep sometimes right after a good workout session, 2 or three a month or just 1 a year. I am at a complete lost and I don’t want to waste my money on the wrong doctors that start shoving me pills and pray…. I have been told about a equilibrium has some think to do with it if so how can I test that theory.
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 get these terrible headaches usually to one side of my head but they usually only come the week before my menstral and last a couple days with taking some meds like excedrin...well now it has come back before this time and along with it I cant focus on anything I feel dizzy lightheaded and extremely tired but try to lay down and cant sleep the goes from my temple to the side of my neck...Help any ideas of what is causing this...I called dr cant get an appt till thurs....but im worrried...
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.
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.
I have seen multiple neurologists, had numerous MRI scans, and am currently taking injectible imitrex, with little relief. I have found that taking 3-4 excedrin migraine pills as soon as I first feel pain, or the tingling sensation, prevents an attack from beginning. However, nothing I have tried, including morphine, excedrin, codeine, etc., has stopped an attack once it has actually begun.
Any help/advice/suggestions would be extremely appreciated.
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!
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?
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.
