Have any of you had a doctor prescribe Imagran and if you've tried it did it work for you?
thanks

I've been using IMIGRAN injections since 1995 and they work quickly, every single time, to kill even the very worst CH attacks the beast can throw at me.

So yes, they work!

Yup, Imigran is what Tony uses and it works just like imitrex. Different countries, different names.

I am using it, used to work well. That day it didn't work well for me. Was in serious pain and it didn't go off. Now I try on the red bull treatment, whenever I got the hitch that's it coming I gulp down a can.

Red Bull/Strong coffee, oxygen, Imigran, usually in that order! ;)
