I have been taking Imitrex for 7 years now. I cut them in half...not sure if I should though. Anyway, I think I may have finally realized what could be the cause of these migraines. Just 6 weeks after my son was born, I got an IUD with hormones. I started getting migraines about 3 months later but I did not put it together. Now I have the NUVARING which is FULL of hormones and am up to about 10 migraines a month...I feel stupid I didn't connect it sooner. I am not 100% sure but I am off all birth control as of a week ago and am just waiting to see how this month goes. My husband made an appointment to get the snipped so I never have to be on BC again. I hope this helps because I am scared to keep taking Imitrex for the rest of my life and I want to be the fun person I used to be! Thanks for all your comments, it is great to have somewhere to turn!
