Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed me trazodone hydrochloride for anxiety, sumatriptan succinate for migraines, zopiclone for sleep, I've been told I can take the trazodone with zopiclone, but I have the new sumatriptan tablets, it says in the medical pamphlet that it is an MAO-A inhibitor and can't be taken with antidepressants/anxiety tablets. Would it be ok to take both the trazodone hydrochloride and the sumatriptin succinate together?
Avatar f tn There are some types of migraine that present with numbness also and even with the absence of headache and presence of just aura symptoms like sensitivity to light and sound, nausea or vomiting. Was the sumatriptan effective in reducing the pain? Check with your doctor if it does not improve for proper evaluation. Take care always.
Avatar f tn s typical for me to have migraines on the back of my head rather than my left/right side of my head. Sumatriptan/Imitrex will work, but not how it used to. My migraines are worse than how it used to be, and I'm scared to take sumatriptan because 1) It may or may not work. 2) if it doesn't work, I am now 1 sumatriptan short. My gut feeling says something isn't right, but I don't know how to go about it. Yesterday morning I woke up around 4am with another migraine.
Avatar f tn Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma. However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
Avatar n tn Hi! You have not reached the end of possibilities! There are lots of other medications to try. If the sumatriptan isn't working, i'd suggest trying another triptan. There are lots on the market. I use zomig nasal spray, it works fairly well... not 100%, but, it can stop a lot of my migraines. If zomig doesn't work for you, there are still tons of other triptans on the market.. maxalt... and try different types of delivery methods too. Are you taking tablets.
Avatar m tn Also its possible for a topical fungal infection caused by a change in the skins pH but in the world of oral sex, none of these happen often compared to the number of oral sex that takes place in the course of a day in the world.

Avatar m tn - Hiv if have to transmit in sexuall routine would transmit through penis of male and vagina of women only inside the body during unprotected intercourse. It cannot transmit through any other body part(in sexual routine) including mouth. As I have read that even oral sex don't possess risk.
Avatar m tn Our data highlight the potential of direct innate immunity activation in hepatocytes in the control of HBV replication, and support the recent interest in the development of PRR-based antiviral strategies against HBV. In addition, our data suggest that elucidation of the mode of antiviral action of imiquimod may lead to the identification of a novel target for the treatment of CHB. Disclosure of Interest: J.

Avatar f tn I should also note that the very first time i started getting these facial pain attacks, my first doctor thought it was migraines and prescribed me Sumatriptan. And the sumatriptan did take the pain away. And I have learned that sumatriptan helps with cluster headaches. Is there any other trigeminal neuralgia sufferers out there, who suffer the same symptoms as I do? Help me please I am very confused about this condition!!! Sarah.
Avatar f tn I have a migraine of some degree about 28 days of the month. I get Botox injections, am on Topomax, Sumatriptan, anti nausea meds...the whole works. My life was changed in an instant. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar incident, and recovered??? None of my doctors can say if I will ever be free of these migraines...
Avatar m tn I have never heard of MOM being used in this way, nor that it has any anti-infective action. And certainly I have never heard of herpes or any other STD being transmitted by contaminated MOM. I see no reason for any concern about it.

Avatar f tn On 6th June 2008 I went to my GP and explained that I had been suffering from a constant left sided headache for 3 weeks, behind my eye of a throbbing, dull nature. Sine then I have seen a neurologist who has diagnosed chronic migraine but no medication he has prescribed has helped (anti depressants, beta blockers, NSAIDs, anti epileptics). A CT scan showed no abnormalities. I am wondering if it could be because of my glasses.
Avatar m tn Yes he's sure. Oral sex of any type is not a risk of contracting HIV.
1102283 tn?1257817472 The Sumatriptan tablets work well for many people, so if they work well for you then that would be excellent and you can just stick to them as your only prescription. Although, due to the extremely low bioavailability of Sumatriptan tablets, they do not always work well for everyone (although Sumatriptan is still the most prescribed triptan on the market).
Avatar m tn t had any symptoms as of yet. I only had a bit of a scratch in my throat on the 24th and the 25th day after the encounter, but that could have been due to too much cold pop and ice cream. Please give me your opinion as to how risky this encounter was. Should I be worried? He kept on telling me he was 'clean' and didn't have any diseases. Thank you immensely much for your help! Any insight your might have would be invaluable!
474119 tn?1273841478 After every flight, Qantas Airlines pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.
Avatar m tn Pain at the back of head or neck that intensifies on movement may be caused by inflammation of the blood vessels of the head or bony changes in the structures of the neck. The cause of pain is unknown. Over-the-counter pain medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants may help provide relief. Try to avoid the trigger. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn I wanted to know if it is ok to take my amitriptyline after i took my sumatriptan.? Can someone please help me? I took bith pills and i don't know if i was supposed to i can't remember what my doctor said.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Cluster headaches are the worst pain that exists pretty much... so, your description of being shot makes me think of that. Also, they are on one side of the head, and usually around the eye. So... the starting point of your headache sounds like it is in the right place for a cluster headache. Also, them waking you up in the night sounds like cluster headaches too. These could also be migraines though... if you wouldn't describe the pain as the worst pain imaginable (worse than child birth.
