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?
621465 tn?1221537588 She prescribe me Sumatriptan injection ...The injection work very well ..she told me that my body immune system is not strong enough cope with the medicine...
Avatar n tn The more drastic option for people who get really bad migraines that do not respond to other treatments is sumatriptan in an injection form... your doctor will have to teach you how to inject yourself, but, if it works, it's worth it. Sumatriptan really does NOT work as a tablet, so... if you are taking a tablet form of it, you NEED to get onto another triptan. Talk to your doctor. You could also try taking the following supplements too...
1102283 tn?1257817472 But, due to cost constraints, I would suggest getting a prescription for the cheapest generic triptan which is called Sumatriptan tablets. 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).
768044 tn?1294223436 So, he prescribed me Imitrex Injection (Sumatriptan Injection). I dropped off the prescription at the pharmacy after the appointment and they told me I could pick it up tomorrow morning. He said he also prescribed Imitrex Injection for his cluster headache patients too. I had a migraine tonight but it was a normal migraine and my zomig+naproxen+analgesic cream took care of it. So all in all today was a pretty good day.
Avatar f tn What type of headaches did the doctors say you had? This sounds like you might be suffering from "cluster headaches". 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.
Avatar m tn In a word "Yes". The bigger question is: can you remember to take it twice a day...at the proper time? If so, then you can ask your doctor for the chance to try it.
Avatar f tn Cannot tolerate side effects. Sumatriptan injection quickly aborts but only allotted so much per month. Almost out of injections and has no pain relief. Neuro dropped her as patient and advised to find another neuro. He states cant do any thing more fr her. Been to ER. No help. Referred to neuro. Can't get in for 3 weeks. They feel no urgency. Also dr adv her she as penial cyst but not the reason for the pain....he states has had cyst since birth?? Cannot function.
Avatar f tn Hello Im sorry your husband is going through this. First how do you know its cluster headaches? Has your husband been to a headache specialist? Where do u live? Google headache specialist in your area. I had 2 cluster headache cycles in my life and they are no joke almost makes migraines a piece of cake. There is also a support site called ****************.com. There are alot of treatment for cluster's.
Avatar n tn - injection with sumatriptan (assuming you have not already taken the replex) - IV liquids (at least one liter i believe is the standard... but you can trust the hospital with giving you enough) - morphine. this will make you feel sick and disgusting. if they say they are giving you morphine, ask for hydromorphone... it is more expensive (if you live in america, much more expensive for you...
214864 tn?1229715239 I would contact my prescribing doctor immediately if you take this generic form - Metoprolol Succinate ER. ======================================================== Latest News: FDA Finds Fault with Generic Toprol XL -- Problems Reported Earlier by ConsumerLab.com (Date Posted: 8/28/2008) On August 12, 2008, the U.S. FDA sent a letter to Sandoz Inc. warning of violations in its manufacture of Metoprolol Succinate ER tablets and other drug products.
Avatar m tn I was started with oral MPS but there was no improvement, rather difficulties increased. Then I was given IVMPS( Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate - 1 gm) daily for 5 days. After 5 doses condition started improving. But even after 3 weeks of injection I have not fullly recovered. My question is whether I went under right medication or not. And how much time do I require to get 100% recovery. Will speech therapy and pheseotherapy im prove my condition.
Avatar f tn It seems to help most of the time. I am also on sumatriptan for migraines. This was the first time I experienced this constant pain right behind my left eye. Thought the pain was from migraines so I took sumatriptan . So migraines are a throbbing pain on one side?
Avatar f tn 2 times in a day, only twice in a week). My mom has her own medical problems, which include migraines, so I'm switching to her neuro. I've been waiting about 6 months for my appointment, which is finally coming up in March. This guy is very popular, so getting your first appointment is a long wait. I used to feel like my migraines were controllable; they didn't own me, I owned them kind of thing...
Avatar f tn Can I take Metoprolol Succinate and Indole 3 Carbinol without any drug interactions? I have been taking Metoprolol Succinate for tachycardia for a few years now and have gained weight I was watching the Dr. Oz show and he recommended takig Indole 3 Carbinol for people who carry more weight on the bottom half of their body. It just being vegetables wouldnt seem to effect anything, but I'm juat asking to be on the safe side. I have tried doing my own research but I have not found anything.
Avatar m tn Morning - Olmesartan (H) 40mg, Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release 25mg; Evening - Olmesartan 40mg, Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release 25mg. Now, I have been further prescribed for 30 days, which I have started taking: Eltroxin 25mg empty stomach & Zyloric 100mg after breakfast. Kindly advise further.
Avatar m tn Then He said “we need to inject three injections(Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection USP – SOLU-MEDROL 1gram)”. We agreed and he did injections and multivitamin injections also. Right Now He did not get vision for left eye.
Avatar m tn but, they only prescribe the injection in very severe cases since no one wants to use an injection, but it is called a sumatriptan pen (because the needle sort of looks like a pen). The fastest that Zomig Nasal Spray can work is 10 minutes. The fastest that Zomig-ZMT (quick dissolve tablets, zomig calls them "Orally Disintegrating Tablets") can work is 30 minutes IF you use the 5mg orally disintegrating tablets tablets. the 2.
Avatar n tn With one of my flares, I went to my doc office 5 days in a row to receive a 1000mg injection in my hip. I felt a little better with each injection. Maybe this would be an option. I have to agree with Bob as far as dosage making the difference. During my last flare, I was given oral. It did NOTHING for me.
Avatar m tn It is succinate, btw. is the succinate supposed to be extended release? It doesnt seem to be releasing at all.
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.
768044 tn?1294223436 ve tried triptan wise though is sumatriptan by injection? Imitrex makes an injection and there are also a few generic sumatriptan injections on the market now too I think. For some people if all the triptans don't work then sumatriptan by injection will work for them, even if sumatriptan by tablet and nasal spray was useless to them. Let me know if you've tried it before... if not, might be something to ask the neurologist about at your appointment...
Avatar n tn I take the toprol xl and I use the generic and it cost me roughly $20 and I take 125mg twice a day. but you must make sure it is the generic for toprol xl because there is metoprolol succinate which is the generic for toprol xl and metoprolol tartrate which is the generic for lopressor. They both work in two different ways so they can not be interchanged at the same dose. I asked this question before toprol xl became a generic.
