Imitrex Review Summary

A bad migraine can ruin the day but Imitrex is a prescription drug product ready to help eliminate migraine pain and return life to normal. Reviewers like Imitrex for several reasons and most important among them is the fast- action that eliminates migraine pain in a short time. Reviewers also like the different recommended dosages for different levels of migraine pain and they like the fact that Imitrex is offered in nasal form. “Imitrex has Controlled my Migraines” and is a “Great Product”, according to two happy reviewers. This product is costly and can cause heart trouble for some, so it needs to be used sparingly. But among prescription medications for migraine pain, Imitrex ranks as an excellent Prescription Medicine that migraine sufferers swear by.

I have suffered from debilitating migraine headaches for many years.  In the past I was unable to take most medications because the migraines make me nauseous.  Imitrex has changed my life.  I used to have to go to a dark quiet room , take medicine and try to sleep off the headache.  Immitrex works...

Both my mother and I had terrible side effects from this drug and later read in the materials that this should first be taken in your doctor's office in case of dangerous side effects.  My mother and I both had a horrible burning sensation in our brains (she went to the ER) and I have had terrible joint...

I have been suffering from Migraines since I was 17 and they have continued to get worse over the past few years.I went to the doctor and told him that I was suffering from Migraines and he told me about Imitrex.He said to take it right when you feel the pain and lay down for about an hour.So when I started to get one I took the Imitrex and layed down and after about 15 to 30 minutes the migraine was gone. The only side effects I have had while taking the Imitrex is that when it starts to work it sends a burning sensation through my head and face but I don't mind it at all and that is what lets... review »

I have started suffering from migraines again after years without one.  I have been getting cluster headaches, one to two a week.  It is hell!  After the first week of multiple migraines, I was prescribed Imitrex.  Not only did it not help my migraines, it added a burning sensation in addition to the migraine symptoms of light-sensitivity, nausea, and extreme headache on one side of my head and one eye.

Oh boy!  Now I have to deal with another symptom rather than getting rid of the ones I am trying to treat.  Of course it may differ for you, I can only speak from experience (obviously) and...

I have suffered migraines for years. Which often sent me to bed in a darken room, when I wasn't in the bathroom sick to my stomach. Imitrex has help keep the headaches under control. Imitrex works I believe by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain. It should be taken soon as symptoms of migraine begin. The symptoms such as pain, nausea, sensitivity to light, sounds and smells are greatly reduced or relieved. For me I often have relief of symptoms in 20-30 minutes. You can take another tablet or I think it also comes in nasal spray in 2 hours. I have less work since taking Imitrex.

Imitrex works great for migraines and auras.  The only exception is the pain in my jaws after about 10 mins of taking the medicine.  I can deal with that pain because it goes away about the same time the migraine does.  The nasal spray works great too, just is bad tasting.  I would only recommend the spray if you were out on the go and could not lay down to get rid of the migraine, because the tastes lasts for a while.  I would normally get a chocolate bar and eat it slowly to help drown out the taste.  I recommend Imitrex to anyone suffering from auras and/or migraines.

Imitrex is a long standing tried and true migraine headache reliever.  I have tried many prescriptions but this one I wouldn't be without. Some side effects but works for me.
