I have been on imitrex and atenolol for a week. It has caused pain in the right side of my neck that runs through my right arm.I'm trying to stop my headaches, not cause more pain. Ithink the medication is unsafe if you have to use a low dose blood preasure medicine with it. Imitrex, and it's counterparts shuold be pulled from the market! It all stems from doctors trying not to prescribe narcotic type medication for headaches.

That is not true. I am an ICU nurse as well as a migraine sufferer. Migraines are special vascular headaches and need to be treated differently from tension or other forms of headaches. Narcotics are not the answer to migraines.
