Title: Bugger...
Post by Kate in Oz on Apr 14th, 2009 at 8:02am
Seein as March has been and gone and nothing happened... well I was kinda hopeful.  But the beast has returned  :'(  It's always kinda scary yes?  Knowing the pain that will have to be endured over the coming weeks.

Oh well, my bf is picking up the 02 tomorrow morning, god bless 'im  :-*  I've started taking the verapamil - which I skipped the last two cycles cos I wasn't sure that it was really helping - made me tired and seemed as though the cycle was longer??  

Anyway, I do have a question.... last cycle (Sept 08) my gp gave me some imigran nasal spray.  I wonder is it okay to take that and verapamil??  

If anyone is out there now who can answer, I'd really appreciate it cos it's gonna happen real soon  :-/

Thanks in advance,

Kate

Yes, it is fully safe to take the two at the same time.  As long as you don't have any other conditions, that prevent you from taking Imigran, such as heart disease or vascular problems.

Many find the injections to work faster.

BUT, all that said, it is MUCH safer, and cheaper to use oxygen as your primary abort method, and only resort to the Imigran as a last resort.

Sorry the beast has found you again!  I hope it is a short cycle for you!

Thanks Chuck!   It seemed a bit quite on board so I've been googling and found out same.   I get real panicky when the cycle starts  :o ... this was my first call.  

I really appreciate your quick response,  ta

Rotten luck, Kate, but if want to send your beer to me for safe-keeping so you're never tempted, I'm only too happy to help.

Because I care,

Brian up north.
