Common Questions and Answers about Imitrex dosing schedule
imitrex
I don't have much of a question, but wanted to introduce myself. I've periodically had migraines throughout my life, but they were never very often. However, that changed since I've been diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia (as well as other chronic pain issues). Especially since the fibro was discovered (about 15 years ago), my migraines have increased in frequency. The week before last, I had 3 in that week alone.
Is there a safe way to detox at home from Fioricet (butalbital)? I can't find an inpatient program where I live & I really want to stop taking this drug. My doc keeps telling me it ok to use it for headaches/migraines & keeps prescribing it. I've used it for nearly 30 years & I know most of my headaches are rebounds. I have also used Imitrex, but it's alot more expensive & doesn't always work. Any & all suggestions are welcome.
My doctor suggested monitoring for the first 24 hours after my first shot for when the onset of any side effects occured and then adjusting when i gave myself the shot so that the onset or most of the "WORST" of the sx occured while I was sleeping. So, if you get the shot at 11 am and at 5pm you start notcing sx then adjust the next time you get a shot so that you do it 6 hours before you'll be asleep.
After a recent appointment, my neurologist wants to begin treating me for migraine. Because of lightheartedness associated with my symptoms, though, she ordered a tilt table test. The hospital could not schedule my test until about two from today. So I'm wondering - can I start taking these new medications or can they potentially "mask" whatever might be found on the tilt table test?
While a BID dosing schedule is nice, the fundamental cooperative toxicity between interferon, ribavirin and a protease inhibitor must be factored into the mix, Chung added.
BID dosing will not make more patients get treated now, agreed Dr Susannah Naggie, assistant professor of medicine, Infectious Diseases, Duke University. The new regimen will not make a difference for someone who has already decided to wait, she said.
m not sure if my body had simply grown tolerant being on the same dose dly for 5-6 yrs or if it was because of the increased demands my body had to go through this past year, but I made the difficult decision to increase my oxycontin to 50mg three times dly. I have also been on fioricet and imitrex PRN for my many headaches and migraines. I suspect that my headaches have increased in frequency and intensity to the point that I have them daily because of all the meds I take.
Yeah, sorry about any possible miscommunication. The Incivek dosing schedule of three times a day has to to do with the relatively short half-life of Incivek. Taking each dose with 20 grams of fat has to do with increasing absorption & bioavailability. Even though someone's doctor may have said otherwise it would be helpful to provide the Incivek Product Monograph to show the dosing schedule has changed.
Honestly, I would just skip it and resume your normal dosing schedule in the am. You are on a every 12 hour schedule, and it would be one thing if it were just off by a little, but you are off by 6, 7 hours.. Not that it would harm you in any way, but you may end up with a few unpleasant side effects, especially since you're dosing twice daily.
If you find yourself frequently forgetting to take a dose...then find a way to remind yourself.

Preliminary pharmacokinetic analyses of pre-dose samples taken on day 8 of dosing in approximately 50 patients in this study indicate that trough concentrations in those patients receiving a twice-daily dosing schedule are similar to trough concentrations of a three times daily dosing schedule, and are also similar to trough concentrations observed in PROVE 1 and PROVE 2.
