The Imitrex does immediately eliminate the pain, much better than Excedrin, but it makes me feel very strange and the fuzzy feeling I have post-migraine seems to last longer.<br /> <br />Is it possible that for this patient the side effects are unacceptable to her?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-29708859161766413732009-05-24T18:05:46.714-04:002009-05-24T18:05:46.714-04:00I don't get why the migaineuse won't try the tript...I don't get why the migaineuse won't try the triptin drugs - they are brilliant, and I remember the years before with tablets that didn't work or being told to take aspirin, which puts me into full blown allergic shock, or paracetamol (amph...I can't remember it's US name, sorry) when I was sick and writhed around all day eating the pillow and every noise and bit of light increased the pain. I have a US friend who takes sumitriptin by injection as she's sick as soon as it starts and in the UK, you can get melting wafers and tablets. Does this woman really have migraine, or does she just want to moan and have her mother do the same thing? I just don't understand either of them.Fiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-1094903231788898802009-05-24T16:56:31.378-04:002009-05-24T16:56:31.378-04:00Too bad...
