Imitrex will stop my migraines in a short amount of time. 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, though.
For me, it is best to take it as early as I realize the headache is a migraine, instead of waiting too long til the headache is going strong; harder to stop the pain once it has reached that point.
Awest72 - I agree with you it is a godsend, but i do worry about the" long term side effect" But, right now it is the only thing that gets me thru the day if i get one..i can now take them and go to work...but i do feel edgey and moody, but i would rather feel that way than have a migraine. I wish there was a another option for us...(that work actually) ive tied cutting down on certain foods and things that trigger the migraines but they don't seem to work...because mine are sometimes worse when i'm on my period...i would not wish this on anyone...It is a wonderful drug...i just hope that it doesn't kill me later in life...
