zomig and ssri

I have a tentative diagnosis of basilar migraine that got slapped on me ~7 years ago. That was before my heart condition was diagnosed, so I'm not sure if I still qualify. The thing is, I have an Rx for Zomig, (a triptan) and my mom's made me really scared of taking the Zomig for fear of cutting off blood circulation. Does anybody else here have basilar migraines and take triptans? If not, do you have an abortive of any kind?

The pharmacist told me that you are at a higher risk of seizure and serotonin sydrome if you take ultram and a SSRI and commented about wondering why the doctor prescribed it. My NEW doctor today told me there is no way you should use them both, and told me to ditch (flush) the ultram and that someone on an SSRI or SSNI should in no way be taking that medication with ultram or ultracet. I flushed mine down the toilet today.

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.

Mostly I stick with my Zomig and for the majority of my migraines and the Zomig works. It tends to only be the migraines that wake me up that the zomig just won't work for. Or, sometimes if a migraine comes back on the same day, a second dose of zomig won't work to get rid of it either and it will be much more severe when it comes back. Although, really, over-all, the zomig works the majority of the time.

or triptans are a class of medication and examples of triptans are sumatriptan (brand name imitrex), zomig, maxalt, axert... well those are just to name a few. And yes, they are migraine medication and you take them at the first signs of the migraine, the SS, and it will stop the SS as long as you take it at the very first signs that it is starting. You can get it prescribed by a neurologist or your family doctor. It is better to go to a neurologist instead of an eye doctor. But...

I take zomig and naproxen at the same time... although, always zomig first if I know that it's a migraine... because sometimes the naproxen isn't a good idea apparently according to the information they gave me at the pharmacy... like, I'm not supposed to lie down after taking it for half an hour and I'm supposed to eat something with it...

The problem of course is not this particular 1 time. I am constantly taking a mixture of syndol and zomig everyday to try and control the pain and addiction but the problem is getting out of hand. Incidentally last year I was admitted into hospital for a few weeks by a neurologist to stop the syndol addiction and I had managed. I was having very little headaches once I got out and was only taking panadols when I felt headaches. I was also prescribed 30mg Amirol every night before I sleep.

I take Zomig (I get migraines about 3-5 times a year) and Zomig knocks it out. Ironically, Norco used to give me headaches and then unfortunately, I became accustomed to them and addicted to them...... Now I am on day 14 with no opiates and I am still not quite well, but better each day. I won't be touching those demonic yellow pills anymore. Fortunately, my pain level is manageable as well. Opiates cause rebound pain the same way rebound headaches work. I wish you the best.

I personally use Zomig Nasal Spray and find it works extremely well. I also have found great success with Maxalt-MLTs. Although, everyone is different and all of the triptans on the market have been proven effective in clinical trials, so please discuss with the doctor in the clinic which triptan would be the most appropriate in your situation. Although, if you want to go in suggesting something...

this sounds very much like severe migrain problems,i hope everything goes fine with the ct scan,keep us informed.

Usually, an antidepressant like an SSRI is prescribed and a benzo is given short term, until the side effects of the SSRI (if any) start to subside...and the SSRI starts doing its job. Also keep in mind that it takes generally 2-4 weeks for an SSRI to really start making a difference. For some people, it can take up to 6-8 weeks. Generally, the idea is...once the SSRI starts working, the need for the benzo will decrease automatically.

t find anything then. This has started happening to me about once every 2 months and I never really paid any attention to it until now. It will happen when i'm doing laundry or when i'm laying in bed watching tv. And anther big issue i don't have health insurance so i haven't gone to the doctor to get this looked at but I just wanna know if it's something serious? Or maybe it's normal and nothing to worry about?

I have always struggled with migraines and now I am trying to get pregnant. Does anyone have experience with using Zomig or one of the other Triptan medications during pregnancy? What was your experience like? Tylenol is not working for me.

s not handy, 4-5 200mg ibuprofen. The Zomig is an oral disintegrating tablet, and works in less than 5 minutes. It does leave you feeling a tad spaced out, but I'll take that any day of the week compared to a frenzied/panicked trip to the ER (and the $2k subsequent bill). Xanax should also work, but you should can't take too much of it.

It does not have to be just an ssri .Here is the thing if you are off the tramadol and only taking one AD at a low level then you should be safe its when you take way to much or multiple ADs at the same time.However plz check with your doctor I am not one this is just what I was told by one you have to talk to you own ...good luck it will be ok.

m wondering if based on their experience, someone can tell me if their SSRI has helped improved their physical symptoms over time? My SSRI helps me to be more calm and positive, however I still have physical symptoms of panic and anxiety such as tingling hands and tight chest occasionally.

Zomig is a central nervous system drug, comes in p.o. and nasal spray. If you have any cardiac issues this is not the drug to take..can cause arrhyhtmias. also contraindicated in hypertensive and liver patients(use cautiously). A friend of mine takes a low dose inderal when she feels a migraine coming, its safe for the liver, but if you have a normally low heart rate and blood pressure it might be too much for you....This works very well for her...

but in all honesty it has changed my mood and made me think differently thus changing me eating and energy levels, and that is more likely to change weight not the pill itself, im not saying it can't im saying it is different for each individual and there individual drain chemistry and the drugs interaction with this...

He suggested that this is autoimmune in nature and that an SSRI may help. i tried Prozac for a week once and some of my endocrine bloodwork went wacky (prolactin level was 165, normal is no higher than 30 and I was having hot flashes) Have any of you had any luck with an antidepressant in this class? My primary doc is reluctant as he says i am not depressed, although the situation can be depressing.
