I started taking Imitrex when it was introduced (I think) and it helped me very little. For what it cost I really thought it should and I kept trying it. I don't remember the dosage at all - sorry.

Then Maxalt was introduced and I tried that. Maxalt helped me a great deal more and I stopped Imitrex completely. Then came A...(starts with an A????) and F...(starts with an F) and Relpax (Please forgive me. I do have trouble with speech now ) I'm trying to name the Triptans.

Relpax is the one that helps my headaches/migraines the most.

But I know that each of the triptans works for each person in a different way. What works best for me will not work so well for you and so on.

Your doctor may be able to give you some samples of Imitrex so you can try it. I sure hope so. I'll say a little prayer for you.
