rizatriptan cmi

I would find another doc.; I agree with selmaS something is not right. When you do find another doc give them a good "interview" as I call it before you even go. Read abouit thier credentials, a lot of hospitals have their doctor's papers/acheivements/ credentials listed. It's so frustrating and dangerous when doctors do this. Fwiw: I had a similar experience with a local ns here in N. Al.

I'm curious how many folks have been diagnosed with depression rather than a doctor acknowledging CMI? I had a CAT & MRI, I absolutely have a fatty tumor on the brain & Chiari Malformation I with tonsils fully decended down the foramen mangum. I just found out end of January after having issues for 14 yrs. I started having issues about 23, I'm 37 now. I did go to a few doctors through the years but was told be more active...

I went to a neurologist and they prescribed me Nortriptyline, Methylprednisolone, and Rizatriptan. Since I have taken these medications I have gained a little relief however, it all just came back after a week. When I was on rizatriptan it constricted the vessels on the temporal regions of my head and I did not feel them throbbing too much, however, there were still headaches.

All came back normal, except her MRI with contrast showed CMI with 6mm. No symptoms for CMI so she was labeled asymptomatic. She got an infection and a blood clot from the IV when she got the MRI, and was put on an antibiotic and aspirin. It (the infection and clot) cleared-up after a couple of weeks, but at about the exact same (late Dec) she felt nauseous, had neck pain, and a radiating headache. This went on for about 4 days, and then began to wane.

Hi all - I was diagnosed with CMI just about 2 years ago after a particularly symptomatic bout. In addition to CMI, I was found to have a 4.5 CM posterior fossa arachnoid cyst, which may be the cause for the CMI. Since diagnosis, I have been dealing with it symptomatically (managing headaches, mostly). However, I was recently found to have significant high-frequency hearing loss, and have been suffering from significant tinnitus for 6+ months now.

Hi, Maxalt is brand name for Rizatriptan. It belongs to the category of medication known as Triptans. Triptans are very effective in treatment of acute migraine attacks because they are known to reduce the swelling of blood vessels. Dilatation of blood vessels in the brain is known to cause migraines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizatriptan It is nice to know that you are finding this site useful. God bless!

selmaS is wise. Fwiw I have to warn MRI technicians that certain positions agrivate my CMI issues. Usualy they try to accomidate me anyway they can; they just often don't think about what certain positions do to a person with neuro issues.

By way of background I have chronic daily headaches as well as migraines with aura, and have had those since I was 14 (I’m 32 now). I take rizatriptan for the migraines and Tylenol and ibuprofen for the daily headache.

I have been unable to contact the individuals who have been documented to have gone through a similar experience. I have reasonable CMI but virtually no passive immunity, (humoral) for this virus. (characteristic lesion, prodrome and localised reactiviation confirms original infection, IgG negative, no florid eruptions so expectation is that CMI is still effective).

Hi; I'm new to MedHelp and to this community. I was DX with CMI in 1999, quite by accident, when I was having neck pain, radiating shoulder, arm and hand pain, numbness and tingling in my arm & hand. Doctors did a brain and c-spine MRI w/wo contrast, then referred me to a Neurosurgeon. The NS asked me if I ever had headaches. I said "sure I do, doesn't everyone?

I have a history of horrible migraines since my early teens and they just recently began. It's been exactly a week since I've had this particular migraine and since tylenol is the only safe thing I can take, I am in agony!! I'm used to taking excedrin and rizatriptan but neither of those are safe for the baby. I've tried sleeping, cold rags on my neck and forehead, head rubs, everything! And I just can't get rid of if! I'm to the point where I want to go to the e.

The last 2 weeks or so my migraines have gotten more frequent and less apt to respond to Rizatriptan. I am wondering if I am just having a bad week or if the accutane is to blame.

I had cataract removal surgery over a year ago with premium bifocal implants via laser. I've had occasional migraines since then but has come to daily occurrences since June 2022 (most of pain is behind left eye). I've seen my ophthalmologist twice since surgery and she says I have 20/20 vision with nothing wrong. I'm currently seeing a neurologist and he has prescribed Nortriptyline for preventative (which hasn't helped) and Rizatriptan to get rid of migraine.

html I would suggest you to discuss this with your prescribing doctor if it is getting difficult to cope with this side effect. There are other triptans available which you can try like Rizatriptan. Hope this helps!

) Glad to hear u r back taking classes....

Apart from Excedrine Migraine, the other abortive drugs are the triptans (Sumatriptan, Rizatriptan) and ergot alkaloids. And some of the preventive drugs are anticonvulsants and antidepressants.

m taking (Rizatriptan, Diclofenac, and Fulticasone) since I have only started to take the medication last year. I was on ibuprofen but stop taking them since the doctor thought the bruising was caused by it. The doctors are treating the conditions that I mentioned separately. I'm not sure if they should be treating the symptoms together or separate. I'm starting to get scared, I'm just want to know what is happening to me.

I'm sort of jumping in here. I'm having endocrine issues as well, and I believe it's due to my cmI squishing my pituitary. For me it's weight maintenance and vitamin D levels that are being affected. Fwiw, I'm 41 and far from menopause. My sister who has CMI, tethered cord, eds, and bassilar invagination does have a lot of cycle related issues. I also found that the meds I was on post op adversely affected my skin and cycles.

Specifically Imitrex works. Rizatriptan not so much.
