User Reviews for Imitrex

Imitrex is a wonderful drug for us Cluster Heads. I've not been without one on or about my person for the past 17 years. I'm sure that all of us cluster suffers only wish that they would work a lot faster (like the injectitons), but I am sooooo thankful for them in any form. A real "life saver".

Only thing that works for clusters. Within 15 miniutes pain is gone. Thank Goodness for this medicine. Only wish you could take more than 2 doses in a 24 hour peroid.

Injection is the best.

Did not work for chronic cluster headache at all.

I consider Imitrex to be the geatest medicine in the world, at least as far as my health is concerned. I am never without the auto injector. When a chronic headache comes on, I inject myself, 3 to 4 minutes later ... no pain. My muscles are fatigued and I'm somewhat tired for about 30 minutes, but NO PAIN! ... Yes!

Injections are expensive...but they are the only thing that I have found that work for my cluster headaches. Truly a lifesaver. The burning sensation is ugly, but better than the viciousness ripping of my head to pieces.

I have suffered from cluster headaches for over 15 years and have tried almost everything offered by hospitals and over the counter. I recently was given Imitrex in a nasal spray by my doctor and as long as your nasal passage is clear I have found that about five to ten minutes after you taste it in your throat the headaches go away. It is the best medicine I have ever come across for cluster headaches and my days and nights are much better because of it.

Best one for me in the 20 some yrs I've had to deal with them. I've taken 100mg pills all along.

Gets rid of my headaches easily but sometimes takes an hour before it works. Taking it on an empty stomach seems to speed up things. The only down side is they are quite expensive even with insurance.
