imitrex and naproxen combination

I am having trouble determining whether my migraine medication, Imitrex, is one them. Sumitriptan and naproxen are not on the list, but since this drug narrows blood vessels, I wonder if it's best not to take it before surgery.

Statistically, compared to the other triptans, Imitrex Injection, Zomig Nasal Spray and Maxalt-MLTs have the highest success rates for total pain relief in the shortest amount of time. Although, everyone is different and all of the triptans on the market have been proven effective in clinical trials, so which one is best for you is really a personal choice that should be made by you and your doctor.

The medication Treximet is a combination of Imitrex and Naproxen so that is what gave me the idea to start taking the naproxen at the same time as my Zomig... well, actually it was my doctor's idea, because I asked him about Treximet and he told me I could just take my regular triptan and naproxen at the same time. Also, oh, I didn't put Treximet down as an option, I am so sorry!! It's so new that I completely forgot about it! Oops, umm...

You are sort of already doing something similar to this when you take Imitrex and Excedrin at the same time. Since your migraines are chronic, Naproxen may be a safer medication to use as it will not cause rebound headaches even though it is an NSAID. Taking over-the-counter medication can cause rebound headaches. You may want to ask your doctor if taking a fast-acting triptan in combination with naproxen would be helpful in your case.

so, you could maybe, if your doctor thought it was a good idea, mix up your treatment plan by using Imitrex sometimes and Naproxen sometimes, IF the Naproxen worked. Otherwise... talk to your doctor about other non-triptan options for pain control. AND... most important, get your doctor to switch you to a new preventative, because the ELATROLET isn't working for you (it didn't work for me either!).

Like most people who experience side-effects with Imitrex, I get a rash, a racing heart beat and a feeling of heaviness in my chest (like asthma). The side-effects seem like nothing to me though, because they go away quickly (usually in half an hour, sometimes it takes a few hours) and they are nothing compared to the migraines. I also often use Naproxen in combination with either of my triptans.

Sometimes people use a medication called Naproxen in combination with their triptans, and that works very well. Sometimes people use an antiemetic along with a pain killer (such as Tylenol+Codeine OR Naproxen) OR triptan, one of the most effective antiemetics for migraines is Metoclopramide. I hope that you find an effective treatment plan for these headaches soon! Keep in touch!

Naproxen is just ibuprofen, which is Motrin and Aleve. I would think Celebrex would help a lot more than Naproxen. It can't hurt to ask for it. Naproxen didn't do anything for me, except hurt my stomach. The Celebrex helped a lot, right away.

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.

Hello. I've been suffering from sever migraines for years but recently they have gotten worse.. For a week now I've had a constant pain. Ive tried imitrex and that hadn't help. I took a pain med n it help for a little while. But the pain is back ten fold. Is that because of the pain med.? Any suggestions on migraine medications?

i have migrain problem today i went to see my doctor. she prescribed naproxen 500 mg to me. in this past i had been addicted to opiates(no pills) i don't want mess up this time with pills.i just want to know if the the above mentioned medicine is of addictive nature in the long run.

The have tried pain management techniques, chiropractic therapy, bio feed back, the list goes on. They have tried morphine, and vicodin among other drugs they and these did not help. They are trying Meloxicam usually just called Mobic. I looked it up, it doesn't say anything about being for pain, but it is an anti inflammatory med, so I wondered if anyone else had experience with this medication. It is good for slowing down my osteoporosis so that's good.

Imitrex tablets and the Imitrex injectable pen have completely helped me. I hardly ever need the pen and can usually get away with only half of an Imitrex tab. Hormone headaches are definitely for real, get yourself some pain relief and enjoy feeling better. Take care.

t remember anyone else asking this. Ever since starting the steroids and naproxen, my stomach has been hurting like crazy. I have an ulcer and I'm afraid that it is now a bleeding ulcer. I am still unable to start the methotrexate, and now I feel like this thing is going to set it back even farther now. Is it unreasonable to ask the Dr's for the i.v. administration of meds instead of the pills?

ve been having really bad pains that come and go at the bottom of my abdomen. The doctor said that there is nothing I can do about it apart from taking strong painkillers. The dr. has suggestes to take Naproxen but unfortunatly, I get really bad stomach ache when taking Naproxen. Does anyone know any tips that could help me to get rid of the horrible pain and any tips for weight loss with PCOS?

Thanks for telling me about this group. I have these headaches everyday and can use all the help I can get. It looks like I'll have to stop using Naproxen all together. It's not really super effective on these headaches anyway. I just had an endoscopy and the GI said that he found a couple of areas of concern and took a couple of gastric biopsies. It's too soon to know what the results will be, since I was told it could take at least a week and a half to get the results back.

Usually the bioavailability of a nasal spray will be higher than the bioavailability of a oral tablet, such as with the triptan Zomig, where the bioavailability of the oral tablets is 40% and the bioavailability of the nasal spray is 102% (when the bioavailability is higher than 100% it means that the medication by that route works better then it would by intravenous injection), although this sort of increase between oral administration and nasal administration is not the case with Imitrex.

does either imitrex or maxalt contain caffeine? I was taking Maxalt for migraines and it worked great! Now my insurance has decided I need to try Imitrex before they will approve coverage for the Maxalt. The Imitrex took about 2 hours to have any effect, but eventually my headache subsided. Since then I have had recurring headaches for 4 days.

t get imitrex tablets, get the imitrex or generic nasal spray or imitrex or generic injection OR treximex tablets but NOT imitrex tablets. - Zolmitriptan. brand name Zomig. this is what i use. (although i have used all of them at some point) don't get the tablets... like imitrex, the tablets don't work. But, the nasal spray DOES work incredibly well and this is what is usually prescribed anyway. - Almotriptan. brand name Axert. a very powerful triptan tablet.

I have been having headaches and migraines since i was five and now i am getting them more frequently. I also have been getting deep pressure in specific spots in my head and it feels as though its a headache, but then disappears. I would like for you to suggest certain causes of this.

I am so glad that you asked about imitrex! I take a triptan, like imitrex, and personally I think that triptans are the best treatment for acute migraines, and they are also the most prescribed medication for acute migraines.

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!

Ask about Buspar, Elavil, Imitrex, Inderal, Pristiq, Topamax....just to name a few. It really helps to be on a combination of meds to help both migraines and anxiety then you can also take Amerge, Fiorinal or Fioricet as needed.

There is no easy answer because it depends upon how long you have been taking an opiate. The major problem is respiratory depression and resultant respiratory arrest. A patient regularly taking opiates can take 80-100 mg of oxycodone and suffer no respiratory difficulties. A new patient, however, staring at that dose may stop breathing. Similarly, if there is a hiatus and several weeks elapse the 80-100 mg of oxycodone may cause death because the cells reset.

t give me anything that was dangerous but I researched it and some websites say not to take it during pregnancy ?

I have been put on everything from narcotics (which I refuse and hate) to Beta Blockers. (Which Do help) Currently on Propanol. But my very FIRST and ONLY time using Imitrex Oral Capsule. I took the medication and I was sitting in my reclining chair and in about 15 mins I became paralyzed for 2.5-3 hours. I had no other medications in my system. I DO NOT use drugs or drink alcohol. Only Imitrex. My husband honestly thought I was joking. I could not lift my head.
