Common Questions and Answers about Imitrex muscle pain
imitrex
I don't have much of a question, but wanted to introduce myself. I've periodically had migraines throughout my life, but they were never very often. However, that changed since I've been diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia (as well as other chronic pain issues). Especially since the fibro was discovered (about 15 years ago), my migraines have increased in frequency. The week before last, I had 3 in that week alone.
m right and these headaches are being caused by the analgesics the only solution I see here is to somehow wean totally off the oxycontin. The bone and muscle pain is unbearable and I cannot walk without the oxycontin but the headaches incapacitate me too. I don't want to simply exist. I want to participate in life.
I know I have Imitrex and I'm on Topamax for preventative. This is more tension than migraine...it's almost as painful, but different type of pain. And the Imitrex only works if it's a true migraine and I've wasted the last 3 Imitrex hoping it would help, and those suckers aren't cheap!!! But I REALLY appreciate the advice....I really do.
I took botox injections in the neck and shoulder plus muscle relaxants and some narcotic pain medication as needed before getting pregnant -- and imitrex for the headaches.
My OB has given me lortab to take and she feels comfortable with it on a an as needed basis. I am looking for some more comfort that this ok -- I took it with my first baby as well -- but still. She also gave me the option of tramadol.
also, if someone offered you a medication that worked as well as Imitrex, you would probably use it when you were in pain as a substitute for Imitrex... which all shows that Imitrex is in no way addictive. As for physical dependency... well, I have heard of the triptan Maxalt causing rebound headaches, which could be considered a type of physical dependency maybe... but, out of all of the triptans, the ONLY triptan that has shown this is Maxalt, not Imitrex.
Do hemiplegic migraine symptoms become better or is there a lasting weakness or pain? I am confused because what I have read says that the stroke like symptoms become better. Whatever kind I have do not respond to imitrex but are better with tegretol. However, the weakness in my hand is constant. Is that permanent? What about the pain in my foot? And the sensation that my foot is frozen? They are not better, no matter what.
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 went to a Med-Express for a Sinus Infection and given the choice of an Antibiotic or a round of Steroids, since the Steroids don's always work for me I went with the Antibiotic and was given Leviquin. The PA told me to take it with food because it might make me sick but did not tell me about any other side effects. I want to know why the medical community is not made to go over all possible side effects with the patients before they are given the medication?
I went to my doctor and she told me that the migraines were due to stress and prescribed a muscle relaxer and Imitrex. The migraines have reduced since then. I think I have had about 3 in the past 4 weeks, but now I'm have this intense pressure, tightness in my shoulders, neck, and back of my head. Sometimes it's so tight that it makes me dizzy. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks. It's a constant pressure and tight feeling.
I am pretty loyal to Imitrex. But always at max dose of 200mg. There is a new drug from makers of Imitrex called Trixamet. It is Imitrex plus an NSAID. I got a sample from my doc. I loved it.
Trixamet is supposed to be covered by any insurance that takes Imitrex, but mine doesn't cover it. Maybe yours will.
Hope I helped.
After taking 100mg of Imitrex for my migraines, within 3 hours after I usually feel all of a sudden kind of "out of it". I am just really "slow" feeling and neutral in personality unlike usual. Is this typical? Why does it do this?
ve eaten food or not. Once the vomiting starts, I am unable to take anything orally - pain meds or even water. Does anyone know of a patch or cream that can be applied as a pain reliever for the migraine? Or maybe to at least stop the vomiting?
Most days I have bad lower back pain upon waking in the morning, and it often wakes me up at night. If it is so severe, it often leads to a headache. Some days my joints ache due to arthritis and/or weather changes. Several years ago, I discovered Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine) really helped out. Now I find that I am sensitive to it along with just aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium.
