I hated it so much.

The only side effect is the nasty taste in my throat about 5 minutes after taking it but than my headache is gone and I feel great! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/11933 Wed, 02 Nov 2005 18:41:20 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/11514 i've been taking imitrex fpr about 1 year now and have had no side effects to date. and it is the only medication,besides larg doses of vicodin that aleveate any and in most cases,all of the pain. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/11514 Tue, 18 Oct 2005 09:59:53 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/11329 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.

It is a godsend. Stops the pain and also stops the nausea. I do, however, have aftereffects: usually back pain later that day. Also, grogginess and fatigue. It is still worth taking Imitrex http://www.medications.com/effect/view/10855 Tue, 23 Aug 2005 18:43:36 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/10447 I personally take the imitrex nasal spray.
