Roughly 8-9 hours after taking Imitrex, I often get excruciating kidney pain that can last up to 8 hours. It feels like broken glass passing through my kidneys. I always try to drink LOTS of water when I take Imitrex, to minimize the kidney pain. Is the Imitrex and ensuing kidney pain worth it? I ask myself that question every time I have a migraine.
