I took Imitrex the first time and I thought I was going to freak out. WOW! My throat was tight and I was burning all over. Then my arms and legs hurt so bad I could not move. The headache went away after all of that. I did not try it again for a month and then I got another bad headache and I thought that I would try it again. It did the same thing to me. I thought that I was going to die. I promised the Lord if He let me live, I would never take another one. And, I am keeping my promise just as He did. There are better alternatives to headaches.

I took Imitrex for the first and my experience started 1/2 hour after I took it. I turned very pale white,my face swelled up I could not breath heart racing so fast I thought that my heart was going to come of my chest, I then became very dizzy and very tired and my arms and legs felt so limp like they were not even there.I could not even think so I layed down and fell asleep and didn't wake up till hours later.My DR. told me I was lucky.
