Hmmm. No chance it was something coincidentally concomitant?
How bad was the allergic reaction?

I wonder if one of the others might work for you now...

Well, my chest got real tight, shortness of breath, a rash, nausea...pretty bad allergic reaction I'd say!

I thought the first reaction might have been a coincidence since I had been taking it so long without issue, but the second time it happened confirmed that it was the Amerge

I have also wondered if the some of the others would help now too...will not try Imitrex again though. The pills and nasal spray did nothing for me and I had a bad reaction to the shots.
