Has anyone tried Imitrex

Take calium/magnesium tablets 250/500 mg strength, they help hormonal headaches!

I will ask my doc about them. I do take calcium, but not magnesium. Thanks.

Wow sensual sorry bout your dad, I guess thats why they make so many diff meds evry one is not the same. But I hope you find some releif somewhere in search…

Thanks. The family history is what makes me nervous to take it.

I used self-inject imitrex like 15 yrs ago. As with all migraine meds for me they work well for a while. I use maxalt now but I think the chest tightening is common as the meds constrict blood vessels. Having had headaches for 25 yrs I know how difficult they can be. One key thing is migraine meds generally only work for migraines. So if headaches are cluster, tension stress or something else they don’t work. Very important to know what kind of headache to treat it. I unfortunately have complicated combination headaches. When I take migraine meds and its a cluster type headache it doesnt touch it. 🙁 as many have said they sometimes get better as you get older. One nice thing about geting older.

I did not read all of what was written, but I have a sensitivity to aspartame (art. sweeetener). You'd be amazed at what all it is in. I also know that there is a yeast/fungal/sugar correlation. yeast caused swelling, yeast is a fungus and sugar feeds fungus. I love using (I am a brand snob) Oregenol. Oregeno oil has been shown to be as effective as morphine in pain relief. it reduces swelling and is non narcotic or habit forming. Good luck iin your search.

I have never heard of oregano oil. I'll have to see if I can find some.

I was in a car accident 15 yrs ago and have gotten frequent migraines since especially when I get stressed. I've tried at least 2 dozen different meds and have seen 4 neurologists. I was in a migraine study a few years ago and had botox injections which lessened the frequency of the migraines considerably. I still get the injections but my insurance won't pay for them. When I do get a migraine, I use Imitex injections.
-
That's supposed to be Imitrex injections…sorry for the typo.

I also tried botox and it didn't help much. The trigger toints are helping keep them from entering my neck area.
