Title: Imitrex Spray
Post by Giuliano on Nov 25^th, 2004, 1:30pm

Guys,

I was talking for a long while with mine and your friend Luciano you'd have been having the pleasure to meet in person last summer and would like to get info about the comparing between Imitex Spray and Zomitran ?? I'm sorry if did wrong the lead.
I'm getting some relief not being possible to use injection due to the collape it provided me at first shot ,and Luciano told me this new one is even boosting how it works.
Since I never learn if Zomitrag is avalable in Italy even a MSDS ( Material safety data sheet) sent to me in copy would be really appreciate.

Have a nice TKG PF PF everlasting..

Giuliano

I had fewer side effects but good headache relief from doing 1/3 of an Imitrex injection.

also, I got 12-24 hours of relief from Zomig Nasal spray versus 2 hours for Imitrex

Thanks Vig,

But have you ever tried to use merely the Zomig or Imitex spray to late an attack ? I have kept in mind the pic you sent me about how to share the Injection,but would proceed on spray way since less shockable and late 8/10 daylight attacks this cluster in 20 minutes and 1 in additional to OX (seemed over kip 6/7).

I have used Zomig and Imitrex spray for the first time in this cycle. To be honest the imitrex works much faster for me, ok, maybe 10 minutes, but as we all know 10 minutes less dancing with the beast and that is like an eternity. Also I rarely get more than one HA in a 24 hour period, so to say if it is the spray that keeps them away, i don't know. Take care, pain free wishes...Marie

Imitrex spray was a waste of money to me. It took almost 30 mins. to break thru the congestion.

imitrex spray didn't work for me either. The shot eliminates my CH in 5 min or less every time. Could be back in 6 hrs though.
