I have had these radiating migraines for a month. They feel like they're behind my eye and they radiate through my neck and temples. My gyno gave me imitrex and it sucks! Should I be seeing some other kind of dr to treat this?

I had a migrain and I took imitrex. After taking imitrex, I started getting very sick in my stomach. I looked and found that the medicine expired 2 years ago. Is this dangerous, or could I have just gotten sick from my headache?

Ive suffer from chronic migraines and was recently put on Imitrex. However, I am not sure if my migraines are causing the numb and tingling sensations that run from the left side of my neck, down my arms and fingers, and also down my left leg sometimes all theway down to my toes. It's uncomfortable and a bit painful and has been happening since 2010.I also have sharp pains on the back left side of my head from time to time. I saw a doctor about it and he said it might have something to do with

I suffer from migraines from time to time during the day, and generally if I take a sumatriptan (Imitrex) tablet early enough, it works very well. If I can't take it early, I would generally take a tablet, go to bed for a few hours, and on waking up the migraine will be gone. I go through spells though of waking during the night (generally around 4 or 5am) with very severe migraines, so painful that I can barely move because it hurts so much. I keep my sumatriptan tablets by my bed with a gla

my husband has been dealing with these for 10 years and the only thing that ever helped was daliy prednisone (which is killing him after 10 yrs) and imitrex injections, that we can not afford with no health coverage. He is 33 and his health is of a 75 yr old, what can I do? free clinic cant help, meds too much $$$ and most doctors have no clue how to treat Cluster Headaches, or even what they are, they are NOT a migraine.

I do have Imitrex, is there any home remedies

I'm an otherwise healthy 20 year old female college student. I've had "migraines" for 3 years now, never had a CT or MRI ordered. Just doctor checkups. After experiencing panic attacks and severe anxiety my doc prescribed Zoloft (in 2010) to treat anxiety which I found did nothing for me so, after a year of that, I've stopped it. I was most recently prescribed Imitrex to take at the onset of a migraine but I found that it made them excruciatingly worse to the point where I had no choice but to

I have had migraines for years and have been diagnosed with 'chronic migraines' meaning 15 or more a month. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, I got Botox for my migraines. Since then, my migraines have been different. They have come on very sudden, lasted for a lot longer than usual, aren't responsive to my usual therapy and now I am having tremors in my arms. I don't think it's a reaction to the boton (the tremors, the rest may be) but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any i

I use Imitrex injections for migraines & will be losing my insurance. Having a hard time finding programs that will cover this medication. Anybody have any ideas?

If I dont have a migraine, then I have a small headache. My head always hurts. Sometimes its just a little, sometimes its so bad I am dizzy, my eyes hurt and i vomit. I have prescription imitrex but i only get like 5 or 6 a month. and sometimes its not as bad of a headache, so i dont wanna take a imitrex for a smaller headache. I cant afford to get a cat scan. Ugh, im just so sick of these headaches/migraines!!!! :( :( :(

I've been very aloof lately and that's an understatement. I'm forgetful, no concentration. Things that don't matter much I remember just fine though.? Is this normal while taking these meds for migraines?

Two weeks ago I woke up with a terrible headache. My family doctor diagnosed me with migraines and prescribed me Imitrex to help get rid of them and prevent future ones. The first dose I took was a 50mg tablet, which landed me in the hospital with breathing troubles and I found out that I was allergic to them. The ER doctor prescribed me Norco to help deal with the pain of the headaches until they ended. Two weeks later I still have the headache, and the breathing troubles that started when I

I am a 21 year old female. I got my first migraine when I was 16, now at 21 they are taking over my life. The past year has been really bad I now get around 5 to 7 migraines a month and they are severe in pain. I have a pain in my eye and then they instantly appear. I also have blurry vision, a tremor in my left hand, short term memory loss (I forget where I put something 5 seconds ago) dizziness and no sensitivity to light or sound. I do not drink any form of caffeine or eat any foods known a

Does cutting my hair shorter help in getting less bald? Is Sominex the reason for my balding? Or Imitrex? I took a lot of that lately, and I am stressed. What can I do?

I've had a headache for 9 days now and it gradually got worse until I went to the ER on friday. they said it was a migraine and I was prescribed Imitrex, but now that I'm looking at symptoms, it seems more like a tension headache to me. Light doesnt really bother me much, and it doesnt help to be in the dark. I have a lot of pressure all over my head and in my neck and shoulders. Should I take the Imitrex? Will it help or make it worse?

I'm 18 and I've had a really bad headache for about 9 days now. This is the first time I've had one like this ever. It got worse two days ago and it's been unbearable. I went to the hospital and they did a CAT scan and blood tests and didn't find anything and they told me it was just a bad migraine. prescribed me norcos which didn't help much, just made me dizzy. So today I went to my doctor and he prescribed Imitrex. My dad has taken in before and he said he had severe burning in his head fro

I should start by saying I was in the E.R. Saturday with massive headache and severe stiff neck and shoulders. They gave me an I.V. of benadryl and tordal. They said I should have several days of relief. I had just over a day. Monday went to Dr she gave me another shot of tordal. And a prescription for imitrex. To take if another headache starts up again. Well I just now 27 hours after the shot started to feel a headache coming on so I took one. But why did the tordal not last the two days l

I need to obtain information from 3 different prescription benefit plans. You may use your own, or those of people you know. Several plans have formulary information available on the internet that is accessible without being a member. I want you to find information about the following drugs that will include if they are formulary, which tier they are covered under, if there is anything required to have the drug covered (ie: prior authorization), and what the copay is under the plan. You need

I suffer from crippling migraines that typically cause vomiting (sometimes with blood. Gross, I know) I have tried many medications to little or no avail. Imitrex, maxalt, topamax, esgic, fioricet, propanylol, you name it. About once a month I end up in the er for treatment when the pain is so bad I cant take it anymore. Usually not an issue for doctors, but I am currently pregnant. The migraines are caused by a concussion I had in April 2009, and my head was shaken up pretty good.

has anyone ever used Aviane birth control pills for period cramps ,and Imitrex for migraines ? what were the benifits and side effects you experienced ? i just started these meds today. my migraines are not caused by birth control pills , i have not started these meds yet, im going to start next sunday

My 15yo daughter has a concussion from being kicked in head during a soccer game on Sep 25, 2011. Today (Oct 6) a classmate gave her and some other friends cupcakes at lunch. Based on the way my daughter and some others felt/acted afterward, she/I believe there's a possibility the cupcakes may have contained marijuana or some other drug that mimics it. My daughter has an appointment on Oct 12 with a neurologist due to severe headaches and concentration problems from the concussion. She is an

I read not too long ago that marijuana can help with migraines. I have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome~~it's a type of migraine...and the best way to describe it would be ocular. I tend to have partial conscious seizures when I get dizzy enough. I'm on Topamax right now. I've tried Imitrex, which didn't work for me. I have two sample pills given to me by my neurologist which I don't intend to use and try out unless it gets really bad. But even though my dosage for Topamax has been uped, I st

I've been a migraine sufferer since I was 15 (I'm almost 30 now) and today was the first time I ended up in Urgent Care because of a really bad migraine-second time in 3 days-for a shot. I was given a prescription for generic Imitrex. But I'd like to save them for the really bad ones. If you live with Migraines how do you go about avoiding them?

I have had migraines since I was 11 years old. It is the worst kind of pain I have ever had. When they happen, I'm highly sensitive to light, and I get nauseous and dizzy. My parents took me to the hospital the first time I had one at 11. I'm now 25, and I still have them. I've seen several doctors, and they all try to prescribe me preventative medicine. I've been put on sumatriptan (imitrex), Zolmitriptan, and Rizatriptan. I've also been told to take excedrin migraine, advil, tylenol, and oth

i have been taking birth control for months now but i have very bad headaches so i take imitrex when i need to. i wasnt sure if taking these pill pills for my headaches would effect my birth control working. recently had sex without a condom, i take my birth control regularly but took imitrex a couple days before my bf was still worried so i took plan b as well , just wanted to know if i should be fine or if i should be worried?

I suffer migraine headaches that were diagnosed in my early pre-teen years(I am now 24). I was rear ended in a car accident on Friday and suffered a migraine at the scene. I remember telling the paramedics and everyone at the scene that I was suffering a migraine. I hit my head in the car accident and am suffering from back, shoulder, neck, and severe jaw pain. Is it possible I had mistaken my migraine for a concussion? I usually have two or three migraines a month which require treatment with

Numbness/Tingling Right Side Hand & Foot? I woke up yesterday morning and my right hand was tingly. I brushed it off as my carpal tunnel acting up and went on with my day. After a few hours passed and it didn't go away I started to feel really "off" and my ears started to burn (but felt kinda colder inside). Later that evening I went to class, and my right foot also started to tingle, then both my right arm and leg felt kinda achy (the achiness you feel when your body is tired). I pulled my te

i had a bad back massage back at the end of may. about a week or so later i started to get bad pains at the base of my neck. then it started to spread up towards the side. then i started to realize it came more with movement of my neck! they are usually sharp pains. sometimes they also come out of nowhere. the neurologist put me on a strong ibprofin but idk if its really helping. imitrex helps more. could this massage have ANYTHING to do with what i am going through?! I was FINE before that da

I don't know what to do. I have never felt like this before. Advil/imitrex has done absolutely nothing for it. I've taken 4 advil and two imitrex neither has done anything and it possibly could be getting worse. I've been in a dark quiet room as well. I don't know how much more I can do before I decide to go to the emergency room. If I went to the e.r. what could they do for me?

I have had a migraine for 2 days now and my migraine medicine is not helping. Is there anything natural that you know can help with migraines? I usually take Imitrex but it's not helping this time. The last time this happened I ended up in the ER. I don't want it to get that bad again so if you can think of anything, please let me know!

yeah i already tried fioricet and sumatriptan(imitrex) took them both dr said i could did not work so im guessing this would be next perhaps but i think he'll hesitate since im 18 but ive been to the DR many times the same one i just want them to stop i know the cause rebound headaches but i dont care "blue" trust me im not faking i already have adderall and i dont even use it so everyone please cut the BS im not lying take me seriously

I have just been prescribed imitrex for my migraines, which are entirely constant. I only get six pills at a time. So far I have had to take one of my imitrex almost every day. Is this normal? I've tried avoiding it by trying an advil first, but advil stopped helping years ago. I've got a fast approaching migraine right now, the motrin did nothing, should I take my Imitrex? Thanks!

I am 19 years old, I have been dealing with severe mostly menstrual migraines for about 3-4 years, they have been getting more severe lately with accompanying nausea. They get excruciating at times. I have been having to leave work early and have been to the E.R. in the last two months. Excedrin migraine does not really work for me. I have tried Zomig, Inderal, Etodolac and was now prescribed 100mg imitrex, I am only 98lbs and this was a new doctor that was very rushed and not at all thorough

My dad is 55 years old and is a chronic sufferer of cluster migraines. I am tired of seeing him suffer in pain daily! The pain is so intense that he cannot be still and says this is something he hopes no one ever has to deal with. He takes Imitrex when he feels the migraine coming on. But insurance will only pay for 11 pills a month and since this is a daily occurrence, he runs out of meds way before time to get them filled again. I am in nursing school so I have learned about cluster migraine

Well it started Monday morning at work I started losing my vision, this is my 5th migraine in like a 3 week period. I went to the dr Monday afternoon and they gave me a shot of Imitrex which helped a little. I could still feel the migraine sitting in my head. They gave me Sumatriptan to take when I started to feel a migraine coming on, I had to take 2 the next day - I came home and took a vicodin so I could go to sleep. I woke up and all the pain had spread to the base of my neck and I can't m

pain. I am a chronic MIGRAINE sufferer with frequent debilitating pain. I have used Sumatriptan (IMITREX) regularly, and I must stay in a dark, quiet room. Was it effective in relieving your pain, or did it fail to help you? Thank You.

So I've had migraines since I was 10. I got them from my dad. He had a few in his teenage years but he grew out of them in his early 20s. Mine are much much more severe and I feel like I'm never going to grow out of them. I am 26 now and some years are better than others. I am so exhausted all the time with migraines. When I don't have one, I am worried about getting one. When I get them I get paralysis before and during as well. Like my left side of my body goes numb (face, arm, leg and all)

MRI is fine-imitrex that I usually take isn't working been to ER for Meds which work for awhile I've suffered from migraines for years. What could the dr's possibly be missing? I need to figure something out. I can't do anything but sit in bed in the dark. Thank you for the diet suggestion. I am 43 female 5'5 125 lbs My diet is really pretty good I do eat a lot of fruits not much red meat prefer Chicken.

I have had migraines for 3 weeks now. I went to the doctor already and they gave me Relpax and Imitrex. I works but then i start to get the headache badly again. So what should i do? If you know a medicine please tell me it.

Tramadol vs imitrex

Wake up with one every morning. I've tried sooooooo many types of medicine, including beta blockers, and over the counter medicine... seem almost unresponsive. (Imitrex, excedrin migraine.. nothing) I don't eat fruits of vegetables. Right now i'm on nadolol every night which is a beta blocker, no response. Would a lack of Iron, B12, vitamin C, and vitamin C give daily headaches that start in the morning that last ALL DAY? (been happening for a year) Even if i go to bed feeling good with

So, I have had migraines since i was about 10 years old (i am 21 now). I usually get them several times a week, with nausea and light/sound sensitivity. Since then I have always used Imitrex for the sudden onset of a migraine. it has worked well for me most of the time. however, i am now experiencing more side effects and it doesn't always work. so, my doctor has given me samples to try. he gave me Relpax (40 mg), Maxalt (10 mg), and Treximet (85/500 mg) to try and see if any of these would w

It's been like an hour since I took Tylenol n I don't feel any releave can I take an imitrex now or I shouldn't mixed them?

For the past year or so I have been getting headaches more and more frequently. Since like January they have been getting a lot worse. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me imitrex but the prescription only has like 6 pills so I try not to take them that often. Lately I have been having a headache every single day. I take excedrin migraine and they usually go away after an hour or so after taking the medicine. But it's been the bottom of my head/neck area that has been hurting. And someti

My boyfriend has a problem with migraines and doctors cant seem to tell him what's wrong. He says he starts out feeling numb on his left side then his head hurts and he has to lay down in complete dark or else he'll fall over. then after laying there for about an hour he throws up then sleeps it off for a couple hours then wakes up weak but better. It is like a routine every single time he gets one. Anybody with similar symptoms what might help. He's been prescribed imitrex before and it hasn'

I daily meditate for two hours in the morning and evening. Now after four months I almost daily have headaches and heaviness in my eyes. I am taking my prevantive medicine, but it is not working now. So I have to take Imitrex otherwise I through up, but can not take imitrex daily. Now I am thinking to stop meditation. My question is : does anybody have the similar problem? what did you do? is it normal or I am doing something wrong. I read somewhere so now focusing on belly when meditating so
