As for triptans, my regular triptan is Zomig Nasal Spray. On average, I use Zomig Nasal Spray every other day. But, there are times where I will go 3 or 4 days without needing to use it. And there are also times where I will use it every day for sometimes up to a week.
My Zomig Nasal Spray works about 90% of the time and I have no side effects either, except sometimes if I am using it every single day then my nose will get raw or I will get nose bleeds. I pretty much love my Zomig.
I used to use Imagrain 50mg and they worked a treat. However the last few times I used them i started to have side effects (ntingling skin, heat waves, vertigo) and they now no longer work at relieving the pain.
Last night I had the worst one of my life. Nothing helped, no position helped the pain, no massage or rubbing! I almost went to the emergancy but somehow got through it. It was some of the worst pain I have ever expereienced. It was the whole left side of my head and neck.
After some time of taking zomig nearly everyday I had to resort to syndol again. The side effects of zomig are not pleasant at all and drain all my energy and are too expensive to take everyday. The syndol seemed to be working but after a while they kind of stopped working again but was again addicted.
I have lost hope of my headache problem ever being solved. I cannot stand all this pain and drugs. One way or another I feel sick all times of the day with no exaggeration whatsoever.
t working or appears to only work minimally, the dosage should be increased, depending upon the side-effects the patient may be experiencing. If Topamax isn't working, other medications should be tested--such as beta-blockers. Migraines do not respond to conventional headache treatment or medications, such as tylenol or aspirin--this is likely why you weren't feeling any relief from the NSAIDs you were taking (ibuprofen, Naproxen, etc.).
d suggest trying another triptan. There are lots on the market. I use zomig nasal spray, it works fairly well... not 100%, but, it can stop a lot of my migraines. If zomig doesn't work for you, there are still tons of other triptans on the market.. maxalt... and try different types of delivery methods too. Are you taking tablets. Tablets do NOT work very well AT ALL. Try a triptan in a nasal spray.
) and axert (worked extremely well for a time but I developed serotonin-related side-effects and had to switch to zomig). I have tried mega-doses of advil (prescribed) but that caused rebound headaches... I stopped taking advil for a long time and have recently begun taking naproxen (a different type of NSAID) only when there is related neck/shoulder/back pain and the zomig is not providing the relief that I need or I have already taken the maximum 2 doses of zomig for the day.
i did get a script for zomig nasil spray it helpes but dont last long.nothing shows up on my mri , thankfully the tumor is still gone. i have tried so many meds , like you cant rember there names. thanks for your service in the military , sorry you had to go threw this serving our country. take care of your self.
The triptan that I take is called zomig, and I take a nasal spray version. There are lots of triptans on the market and imitrex is one of the first, the generic name is called sumatriptan and it is what they will give you in the hospital, but by injecteion, if you ever go in for a migraine... they won't give you any other triptan at the hospital usually because sumatriptan by injection is pretty much the best triptan out there!!
My doctor put me on a medication called SYNAREL Nasal Spray for the next six months. Just wondering if anyone else was on this nasal spray? Side effects? I've been on it for 2.5 weeks. I've had horrible headaches daily, extreme fatigue and muscle and joint pain. My doctor does not think this is related to the Synarel. Anyone with similar experience?
I am in week 4 of the Olysio/Sovaldi combo therapy and am disappointed at the side effects I'm experiencing. Prior to starting the treatment I was very encouraged by what I was finding on the boards, especially after two bad experiences with interferon treatment and an allergic reaction to ribavirin. Unfortunately I am experiencing maddening itching which I'm controlling with Allegra and extreme fatigue and an all around foggy feeling.
I posted a question asking if zomig knocked other people out.... or if anyone found any sort of knock-out side-effects with triptans...
I totally feel out of it after I take my triptans... it takes the pain away... but I am out of it... tired... fatigued... and even confused sometimes for hours after the migraine... sometimes for the rest of the day!!!
t work then it is highly possible to develop dependency issues quickly when using such medications, or other nasty side-effects... and the last thing you need is to deal with is dependency on an opiate or opiate related side-effects in addition to your migraines. And... hydropmorphone, in my opinion, is one of the BEST pain killers on the market in the opiate class of pain killers... so, if it is not working for you... those types of pain killers probably won't work for you...
