Title: Suspicious Post by BstnEagles on Dec 10th, 2003, 1:39am Hey all, Today I went to the school infimary to see about this cold I have. THey told me I ahve bronchitis and while I was there, I got a bad cluster. They had me lay down and then the docotr wanted me to take a Relpax tablet. I told him I did not think it was a good idea because I had taken a zomig nasal the day before (less than 24 hours) and that the box says not to take two different triptans in a 24 hour period. He said it would be fine, but I did not take the pill. I have never even heard of Relpax. Here's what WebMD had to say about it: Do Not Take If: have taken another serotonin receptor agonist within the last 24 hours - these include almotriptan (Axert), frovatriptan (Frova), naratriptan (Amerge), rizatriptan (Maxalt, Maxalt-MLT), sumatriptan (Imitrex), and zolmitriptan (Zomig, Zomig-ZMT); I found this suspicious. Also tonite I am addding 80mg of verapamil on top of my 240mg time release. Going to the doc tomorrow, gotta find out about O2 and Lithium. Later all.... |

Title: Re: Suspicious Post by Bob P on Dec 10th, 2003, 9:37am That 24 hr thing is on the cautious side. Many of us have taken these meds without much regard for that caution and I have yet to hear of a bad reaction. Myself, I take 3 times the allowed amount of cafergot with nothing more than cold fingers and toes. BTW - even upping the verap to 320mg is on the low side. Most success is seen with doses of 480 - 960mg/day. |
