Imitrex only for migraines Posted: 01-30-08 15:23pm
I've been suffering from migranes for some
time, and finally went to see a
Neurologist. We went through a lengthy
examination, and he cconfirmed that he
does indeed believe that I suffer from
migranes. He then went on to tell me that
he does not prescribe " narcotic
painkillers " my PCD has been prescribing
me a number of different opioid
painkillers. Although they do make me a
little drowsy, they certainley do help
aleviate the pain, and I'm quite
dissapointed that he refuses to prescribe
these meds that are classified to help us.
Am I wrong to think this way, is Imitrex
enough to controll all pain issues by
itself. Please advise !!!

Imitrex is used as acute treatment of
migraine attacks and provides relief of
pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and
sound without causing drowsiness.
On the other side narcotic painkillers
will affect your balance, coordination,
and your ability to think.
Imitrex is not habit-forming and you'll
remain active, alert, and in control.
Narcotics can cause you drug dependency.
