Imitrex Reviews

The best treatment for me. Around 15 years ago, when I started taking it, I would be nauseated, my chest would get tight, but it was much better than the headache. These side effects passed.

worked for a while but then stopped. Weird side effects (made my jaw ache and feel tight)

Worked but I felt funny-drugged, still could not fuction normally while on the drug & needed to take it early in the Migraine to be most effective
