Imitrex Reviews
Working / Worked
I didn't like giving myself the injections. I also felt like the injection was rushing thru my body. Then, I had to go to bed for 30-45 mins.

The pills worked for awhile, then I had to take the stat dose. After awhile, that stopped working, so had to change drugs.

I am currently taking 50gm and it works. It hits about 40 min's after taking it. Sometimes it makes me feel druged out at times.

Really is a miracle drug, to me! Injection form gave me intolerable feelings of dizziness and heaviness. Nasal and pill forms are working fine now.

Works great for Migraine.
Working / Worked
if taken early enough the nasal spray usually helps, if not then I must resort to the injectible form which has the undesirable effects of heart racing, etc.
Working / Worked
But I got terrible reactions from the medication- dizziness, and nausea. so instead of headaches I was throwing up.
Working / Worked
Worked in the beginning they have given me the sprays for when my daily medication doesn't work. These nasal sprays work quite quickly but have a very bad taste afterwards when you swallow.
Working / Worked
works fine for now
