Triptans are migraine medications that interupt the physiology of a migraine and STOP the migraine from happening. Migraine is much more than just pain, so taking pain killer for migraine is only treating one part of the migraine and not actually stopping the migraine... which is why so often the pain killers don't even touch the pain or the pain will return. If you are having migraines, you should really be treating them with proper migraine medications.
I would like to know how long after taking Sumatriptan/Imitrex could any drowsiness side effect be considered to have worn off for when I get a migraine away from home and have no reasonable option to get home without driving myself. A few years ago, I got a migraine while some distance from home. I do not drive with a migraine.
my doc put me on birth control pills and took pills for 2days and that night while I was sleeping I woke up with this bad one sides headache....I still remember how bad that headache was, I was in tears and excrutiating pain in one left eye and head. I had no aura I just woke up with this horrible pain. My doc then gave me a shot od deporpovera.....and where then, I have developed "migraines".
Have been diagnosed with migraines but the correlation of cracking my neck then having a wretched headache (with migraine attributes--which yours sounds like as well--bilateral/suborbital pain) is just too odd AND Yet occurs too regularly to be coincidence!!! Have you found a solution and/or come across any medical literature that explains a link btw the two?
That is kinda why I posted this question. I knew that when a prodrome comes the migraine headache is not long off. So, can you do anything while in prodrome that can stop the headache from coming? Well, if you want to talk more about mit just friend me and we can talk more one on one. Hope to hear from you soon, and good luck.
Hello Dear,
Your symptoms resemble those of migraine. Symptoms of a migraine may include sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, auras (loss of vision in one eye or tunnel vision), difficulty of speech and intense pain predominating on one side of the head
You can also try for sumatriptan in combination with NSAID like naproxen.
Yesterday morning I woke up around 4am with another migraine. I took my sumatriptan, and the migraine was gone when I woke up again. I commuted to my college, and went about my day. Yesterday evening it came back (maybe a rebound?). Knowing that it typically gets worse, I took a sumatriptan before bed. Last night, I woke up every hour desperate for relief. Ice didn't work. Changing my position didn't work.
Some people have success treating migraine with ibuprofin (such as advil). For me nothing works except sumatriptan (such as imitrex) for you need a prescription.
As soon as they were finished with the ablation, before they rolled me out of the cath lab, I started getting a migraine (blurry vision, followed by headache from hell, nausea, vomiting). Before my heart ablation I would get a migraine 3-4 times a year. I have been getting them since i was a teenager (I am now 34).
Since the surgery, I have gotten 1-2 migraine headaches EVERY DAY (I'm on day 5 since my surgery). Sometime I get one in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping.
If they stab you and you massage it and it goes away it is usually tension.
If it lasts all day it may be a migraine headache. Since you are still a teenager I don't think you are supposed to take NSAIDs like Ibuprfen. So try two Tylenol and see if that helps lessen the pain.
If they last all day or you are getting them every day I would then see a neurologist to get a electroencephalogram or EEG to see if it is a migraine.
still suffering from dizziness alto not quite as severe, but this weekend developed what can only be described as the worst headache of my life, over right eye and temple, waking me in night from sleep, pressure/pain in eyeaball, intermittent swollen eyelid and redeye for one hour, pain was excruciating and lasted for four days. Had emergency appt with neuro who has diagnosed Vestibular migraine, altho none of my symptoms really match the required for vestibular migraine.
Am having a throbbing headache along with pain deep down my eyes...I went to see my doctor who gave me other medication and checked for nerve palsy.and said it's nothing but migraine.it's been 3 weeks since am suffering from migraine ,have been taken migraleve, diclofenac & sumatriptan. Which do give relief but whenever i watch tv or using the computer the headache come back and i feel my eyes tired and aching.Do i need to see an optician or need glasses?
It is not the same pain as a headache or a migraine. It lasts anywhere from half an hour to 2 hours. Usually it is there until I fall asleep. It feels as if it is affecting every area on the left side of my face.. the most intense pain is in the temple, the eye, my upper teeth and gums, and in my nose. I would have these episodes of pain ususally every 2nd day for about 2 months, until they finally went away. Now one year later they are back. The attacks come ever 2nd night..
t a common symptom. Mixed tension migraine is a headache with features of both tension and migraine headaches.It has features of both types of headaches and it is difficult to differentiate which symptoms are migrainous and which are tension related.It is good to see your doctor for full medical and neurological exam. Avoiding triggers and taking the appropriate medicine prescribed by your doctor can help manage headache symptoms in many people. This link may be helpful:

When I first went on it, I went for over 3 months without so much a daily headache. Before that I was getting some sort of headache every day with migraines 2-3X a week. Some insurances may not pay for this as it is not marketed for this pupose. Some docs may not know about this. My headache specialist put me on this. Hope this info helps.
There are plenty of migraine headaches in the market today and treatment is usually trial and error for some. Imitrex or sumatriptan is used to treat migraine headaches, with or without aura, in adults. This has been effective to some headache sufferers. If it does not help with your symptoms, inform your doctor for a change of medication. Take care and do keep us posted.
