Are there any contraindications with using these two? Do you have to wait a period of time between using one then the other.

Thanks so much for the reply. I guess I'm try to figure out an ER strategy if the best breaks through the Imitrex.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If in pain at the ER ... narcotics  (Morphine, Demerol, or Stadol)
DISCLAIMER: This is just a suggestion. People react differently to medications. The ones I listed help me. It may or may not help others. Only a doctor can give you these drugs.

PS. It may be better to consult with your neuro before the ER visit, if possible, and have him call with orders or write orders for you to take to ER in case you need to go.

Good many folks are reporting, here, using more Imitrex, within 24-hours, than is recommended. (NOT doubling the dose but more single doses within 24-hrs.)
The unresolved question is, whether this is safe or not. I've seen a couple of medical reports saying, in effect, no apparent side effects but not something to be done routinely. IT APPEARS--no final truth--that you could do this to treat one attack--although I would no do so IF you have any heart related medical conditions, history of stroke, etc.
