Common Questions and Answers about Imitrex with vicodin

imitrex

Avatar f tn 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!
656111 tn?1273820739 Anyway, I am taking Imitrex for my migraines. Well, I had problem with script to fill Imitrex medicine couple years ago.... it only supplys 9 and only covers one any type of migraine medication PER month. When I ran out of it, I asked my doctor to give me script for more Imitrex and I dropped script off at Walgreens then few minutes later, pharmacist told me that insurance was not covering that...
635402 tn?1270162477 Silberstein of the Jefferson Headache Center was able to demonstrate through research, that Imitrex combined with naprosyn taken at the onset of a migraine was better in treating that migraine than either drug alone. Such a combination is deemed synergistic, meaning basically that two plus two equals ten. Naprosyn is the prescription form of Aleve which is sold over the counter and is an anti-inflammatory. Once this research was confirmed, GSK began to develop a combination drug.

5527883 tn?1392586811 there are many other meds that are more effective so I think you should be able to stay away from the Vicodin once you find what meds work. Imitrex is excellent for migraine and not addicting. It's never a good idea to take any med that has the potential for abuse. If it can't be avoided, someone else should hand it out to you. But for something as chronic as migraine...check your options; there are many.
Avatar f tn but seriously my head is pounding, my back is in knots, my head hurts so bad my ears hurt...and this is the exact pain that got me into the mess with painkillers. Now here I am, 13 days after my last perc, finally recovering after the horrible w/ds and I want relief so bad that if one of those little white pills were in front of me I would definatly take one. I tried the mild muscle relaxer and an IB 800, let's be serious, that doesn't do s*** for me!?!?
Avatar m tn So, during the past year I have been taking Vicodin 5/500mg once or twice daily, some days none, just for my migraines, I never got high. I also used Tramadol 50mg for the sme purpose and for back pain, for almost two years, this one twice a day almost every day. Since I started to wean off my Xanax addiction I quit taking the Vicodin and Tramadol, except for 1 day had bad migraine and none Imitrex pills, my insurance only covers 9 pills and paying them is more than 200 dollars.
Avatar f tn Four to five years ago my doc thought they were migraines and I took Imitrex about once every 2 weeks. Then I started getting a worse headache from the Imitrex, like my entire head was supersensitive, my hair hurt. He sent me to a neurologist who diagnosed occiptal neuralgia. That doc has been giving me botox injections in my neck and prescribed Lyrica. I can't afford the Lyrica -- its $300 a month.
Avatar f tn I have tried numerous medications. (Amerge, Imitrex, Toradol, Fioricet, Maxalt, Indocin, Lithium, Imitrex Injections, Vicodin, Perocet.. I beleive there is a few others I just can't think of them at this time) I am now being treated with Zonegran, Depakote. The Zonegran was working for a little while but I have seemed to reach a plateau. I have not been migraine free at all since November, but there have been times where my migraines have been less painful.
Avatar m tn I'm so sorry your daughter is having such problems. Chronic intractable pain has been one of the most debilitating symptoms I have. I don't know how old your daughter is, but my symptoms began to emerge when I was in college. I was unknowingly exacerbating the pain by wearing halter tops, racer back sports bras, bikinis that around the neck, etc. Before I made that connection (and on other "bad days" too), I missed lecture after lecture because I couldn't even move my head.
203003 tn?1210855907 Like worried, I'm not sure where you are in recovery. I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. I was prescribed Celexa (which I will NEVER take again). I am also prone to migraines, so not sure if it was from the Celexa or just a random migraine. Anyway, I am a little over 5 weeks clean. I went to ER and got 4 shots(Decadron, Stadol, Phenergran and Reglan.) They also sent me home with a vicodin 4 pack(which I didn't need and had my husband dispose of).
Avatar f tn t do anything until recently and even with pain killers such as vicodin and morphine(which was via i.v.) and imitrex there was no relief.I normally go about 3 weeks with a migraine get a couple days free but then it comes back normally in the middle of the night to where I wake up crying from the pain.I have had this current one without break for 5 weeks and 3 days.Is it normal to suffer for this long and for this many years with few breaks in between?
1154580 tn?1262215740 Ok here goes....I have had migraines for about 15 yrs, I take topamax,imitrex injections and vicodin for them. I am 34, had a hysterectomy at 28 so I know I'm not pregnant. For the last 3-4 months I have had a dull ache to throbbing headache on the very top of my head, midline to the right. It seems to be worse at night, nothing seems to take it away 2 vicodin don't touch it.
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 I have a long history of migraines and so had to have a med I could take on treatment. I opted for Imitrex because it is okay with the Peg, Riba, and Incivek. Interestingly enough, I have not had any bad migraines on treatment but I think that is because I know most of the migraine triggers and have avoided them like the plague. Before treatment, I was taking Cafergot and a tiny dose of Tylenol # 3 when I got the migraines, which was not often these last few years.
Avatar m tn I'm just collecting my thoughts here, I was taking between 12-15 vicodin 10's a day for about a year. I mean over a year I built up to that amount and have been doing it steady for about 5 months. I was moved acrossed the country by my job. A very good job that I like, and lost access to my supplier, and it ***** that my ability to handle my addiction was.
Avatar f tn No, if it is the branded version of Imitrex with no additional additives. There could be some other variants that include NSAIDS but you should double check with your Doctor as to which version was prescribed. I agree Maxalt seems to be the better drug especially the MLT version as it gets into the blood stream much quicker.
Avatar f tn I find Ibupropin helps a lot if the Imitrex doesn't work or vice versa. Then I got vertigo in my 40's and I would just fall down. It is due to the migraine not the inner ear. I have become hypothyroid too. They now have me on Topamax which took away my migraine headaches but not the auras and I don't have vertigo anymore either. I also take a half of a 25mg of amitriptilyne still too. They had tried cyproheptadine but that didn't work either.
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor. But my neurologist prescribed both 10 mg of Amitriptyline and Imitrex. So I think it should be fine. You can ask a pharmacist or your doctor to make sure. But I am on both of those plus Trokendi XR and Clonazepam.
341655 tn?1240368839 what is the difference between the imitrex injections and pills? Which is more effective and prescribed more?
768044 tn?1294223436 Because I think getting Imitrex injections at the hospital is either the same thing or probably very similar to a prescription for Imitrex Injection, although I guess the difference is that by the time you get to the hospital it has already been a very long time so it might not work as well... but still, experiences with Imitrex injections at the hospital would be good to know about too. Thanks!!
Avatar f tn Hello, hope this finds you feeling better. Taking too much Imitrex can cause SERIOUS medical, long term problems with your cadiovascular system just for starters. You can also get very painful rebound headaches from taking too much medicine in a short period of time. In lieu of medication, try massage therapy. For the pain, sometimes Peppermint Essential Oil can help.
2104296 tn?1334841551 I just got a new doctor and she took me off cause of the huge side effects I was experiencing Which was a good thing. I was also on the pain medication Vicodin to take when needed, too take the edge off the pain. The new doctor does not want me to take any kind of pain medication to help take the edge off. I think she is afraid of prescribing pain meds to anyone. I have stopped take any medication right now for my migraines. I need advice on what to do?
