Ugh

Yesterday was a complete loss to a stupid headache. I woke up feeling great today. I went for a run with the girls, then headed to the gym for a nice work out. I had all kind of plans to be productive to make up for the nothingness of yesterday (I even had to decline going to see the new X-Men movie with Alan and Katy

Have you ever had an imitrex script. It is the only thing that would help my ex...

I tried Imitrex once, and it made me feel terrible. It caused a burning and a painful pressure in my throat and chest and caused an anxiety attack. And it left me with a bit of a hungover feeling, with the headache returning in 2 hours.

I've had a sample of Maxalt, another tryptan, for quite some time, but have been afraid to take it after my experience with Imitrex. However, last night I was desperate, so I took it. It caused a bit of mild anxiety and a tingly feeling in my arms, but the headache was gone within 30 minutes. And I mean GONE! I plan to get a prescription for more of this stuff. It was like a freaking miracle.

I'm glad that you found a solution. Having had them, and lived with a person who had them, I know how bad migraines can be. Hopefully, you won't have another for a long time.
