User Reviews for Imitrex STATdose Pen subcutaneous

I was on imatrex and imatrex stat, the oral took way to long and i was often doubling my dose, then I tried the stat that work ok if the migraine wasn't bad , after that I became prenant with my 2nd child and as my doctor said they went away well 2 years later after I stopped nursing I'm back on the hunt for a migraine med that works I'm sick of sleeping in the er so they can me delation and crap I need to funtion I'm a single mother of 2 small children!!!

I have frequent migraines which are controlled by daily medication, but my neurologist gave me the injections to use as needed. I had to keep the needle in my skin for over 30 seconds to get all of the medicine in my body though & it hurt. They cause big bruises at the injection site & my whole upper body, esp my face goes numb for a few hours. But a quick nap after the injection gets rid of my migraine. I only use them for my most important functions like on prom & graduation.

While Imitrex gave me instant relief from my migrains and was very easy to use I had a very bad reaction when I had to use it while taking another med. (Zoloft)I had a psychotic break. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I filled all my meds at the same pharmasist and my doctors knew all the meds I was taking.

Headache goes away but generally comes back and I need another shot. Epidrin seems to work the best without any injections.

It does not get rid of the migrane for me and the headache always comes back. I have tried midirin, tyenol 3, and other medications for my migranes. Does anyone have any suggesions for something that works????

After an injection, my headache eases, but will come back within 3 hours ... after a second injection, sometimes, the headach does not recur, but lately, he returns in 12 hours and I just wait it out in the dark ... appears to have a rebound affect ....
