Naratriptan for Migraine "I have had migraines for 16 years. Initially, I was placed on Imitrex as an abortive medication. I have used injectable, nasal, and oral Imitrex. I experienced migraines up to 20 days out of a month. After a period of time, I began to have shortness of breath and chest pain with Imitrex in any form. It was very painful and quite scary. I was then prescribed Amerge, and it honestly saved my life. The migraines would subside within an hour and not return for several days. I have only had to take a second dose once or twice. I have absolutely no side effects from the Amerge, although my physician thought that I would since it is still a triptan. I highly recommend Amerge!!"

For Migraine "It works! Felt like a cooling sensation in my head/face. Made me drowsy, so I jumped into bed and slept for a couple of hours. Woke up with some small migraine pain, but overall reduced pain from a 10 to a 1. Didn't have the chest tightening side effect that I had with sumatriptan."
