Dear Kate....
After rereading your post here, I have a question for you.
Was the Treximet your FIRST migraine drug composed of a triptan?
Treximet is a fixed combo of Imitrex (high dose) and naproxen.
If you are just started on this, 100mg is a high dose and you should not be feeling "like you are having a heart attack".
Both drugs are available separately, and you could be started at a lower dose that might still be effective. Imitrex starts at 25mg.
Naproxen is OTC and you could take it that way if your doctor wants both.
This product was designed to keep money coming in for Glaxo...so when Imitrex went generic, they'd still be having Treximet making money for them. It is really meant for people who are used to high dose Imitrex.
Are your migraines on the right side of your head? That would be the side that affects the left side of your body.
