Imitrex (sumatriptan): I love this medicine! Before I would always worry about the next time I was going to get a headache. I couldn't work or play with my son, I hated it. But now if I get one I can just take my imitrex and 30 minutes later its gone like I never had a headache at all! The only thing I dont like is it is pricey, but I will pay because it works very well. Now that I have tried it, I couldn't live without it.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): Imitrex worked for me only when I could take the medicine at the onset of a migraine. If I had a full blown migraine, it didn't help.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): I started using Imitrex about two months ago. It does wonders for me. I take a short nap in a dark, quiet room after taking the medication and this helps a great deal. I have not had any side effects. I love it and recommend it!

sumatriptan: Imitrex injection has worked well for me for the past several years, but sometimes it doesn't last more than 3-4 hours and I need a second injection. Pills don't work as well, nasal spray doesn't work at all for me. The only side effects I have are flushing with sweating and some drowsiness. I'm just glad to have it as I get a few migraines a month. I definitely recommend it.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): the first few years i was prescribed imitrex i thought it was a miracle drug. now after ten years i find that i need to add excedrine migraine with it and i still have residual pain. still...it sure beats a full blown migraine.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): Chronic Migraine sufferer, 2 to 3 a week.
Imitrex has been wonderful when I feel one coming on and
even when I have a full blown Migraine.
I am able to function normally within about a half hour.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): This medication is by far the best migraine medicine that I have used. The only thing that works better is a trip to the ER and then you have to suffer for hours and hours waiting on the doctor and have an extremely high bill. IMITREX always works for me.

sumatriptan: Injection WORKS in 7-10 minutes and you can have your life back! Only thing I don't like is the 7-10 minutes.. Hot flashes that can soak your clothing & make your pain a 1000 times more intense. Just wait it out. No more pain, no more loud noises & no more bright lights. I do not like the pill takes too long.

Imitrex (sumatriptan): I'm 3.5 months pregnant and had been suffering from the worst migraine I'd ever experienced for 2 days. I finally went to urgent care as instructed by my OB. They gave me an injection of imitrex. The side effects suck. I felt dioriented and my head felt heavy. I was sweating. After about 20 minutes, the side effects subsided a bit and I was able to go. It is now 2 hours later and I feel 100 times better. My migraine is basically gone. If you can deal with the side effects, its worth it.
