Imitrex and nasty taste

I am so glad I stumbled upon this site. I was prescribed Imitrex for my migraines. I got a migraine at work one day and took Imitrex, it made me so sick, I couldnt move, I broke out in a cold sweat, my body started burning, the nasty taste in my mouth and the nausea was worse than the headache. I was so weak, I couldnt find my way to tell anyone I was sick so I could go home and I felt so bad I probably wouldn't have been able to drive anyway. After about 1 1/2 hours, the sick feelings subsided somewhat, and I decided I will never again take another Imitrex. I would rather suffer, and I don't want to ask my doctor for something else, because I don't think I could stomach any more horrific side effects from a new med.

I have been taking imitrex for a few weeks now and it is great. 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!

I personally take the imitrex nasal spray. The only side effect that I had was the nasty taste in my mouth about 5 minutes of taking Imitrex. It lasts for about 5 minutes and then the headache and the nasty taste is gone. I really like Imitrex and I plan to keep taking it as needed.
