Imigran jabs making it worse, help needed!

Hi again people.
Right I dont use O2 as it does nothing for me before we go any further.
Also just gone up to 720 verap 2 days ago.
My Imigran jabs have been a life saver for me untill last night!
I know you souldn't but sometimes I do use more than 2 of these in 24 hours & have never had any problems.
I had 2 jabs yesterday prior to last night, at 14:00 & 17:00, the one at 17:00 took longer to work than normal.
Ok, last night, this is where I need your opinions.......
10:30pm.
In a resturant, felt one coming on, went outside, had a jab, 5 then 10 minutes, the only thing happening is the thing is getting worse.
So, jumped in the car, got home & the thing has turned into a full scale kip 10, the injection seemed to make it worse! This has never happened before after a jab!
11:30pm
went to bed.
1:15am
here we go again..... kip fucking 10 again, didnt take a jab, took a sumatriptan tablet for what its worth & the headache lasted 20 minutes, a lot shorter than the previous one.
1:45am
back to bed.
4:15am
awake again, only a kip 2 - 3 though, took another Sumatriptan tablet, 10 - 15 minutes later, headache gone.
Thats it so far no headache since.
So do you think the problem I had with the two kip 10's is to many injections?
Has this happened to anyone else where the injection seem to make it worse??
I am praying that the injections haven't decided to stop working as I really do not know what I would do!
Any opinions greatly appreciated as usual.
Paul

Yes, I have a cpl of comments.
(1) why would you take Imitrex for a Kip 2 - 3 ??
(2) Imitrex injections always make my attacks worse, but only for a matter of minutes, then it 'kicks in' and stops the pain within 15 minutes or so.
(3) I never take Imitrex unless I absolutely have to !

This wasnt an injection, this was a tablet. The idea was to take a tablet to try & stop it getting much worse

I read that it was a tablet you took but still wanted to ask the question. I can see why you took it though ... to try and stop it from getting worse. Understandable. Imitrex may be the wrong drug to try using as a preventative though. IMO, Imitrex is for the 'bad ones'.
Goodluck

Just got back from my Neauro again (had to check my ECG was ok on 720mg Verap)
Had a quick word with him about Imigran jabs & he said they shouldn't make your headaches worse under any circumstances,wasn't quite sure why that happened last night.
He said (quote) " don't spare on them, if you need one use one, money no object"
Basically i'll see what happens next time I have to use one.
