I've had some success aborting attacks with Zomig sprays. and to a lesser extent with Imitrex sprays. They take just a bit longer to work than injections, but they can be quite effective for some. I hope they work for you. Dennis

Reply #4 - Mar 18^th, 2009 at 2:05pm I tried sumatriptan nasal spray 1st time last night, it worked in 10 mins but made me vomit. Going to try it again tonight (provided I get my usual one near 8-ish), if I throw up again I'm going to ask my GP for the injector instead.

I have tried the nasal spray (Imitrex) and it was a waste of time, as was the tablet form.

The Injections worked for me every time without fail within about 3 minutes.

I am surprised the injections do not work for you. Are you sure they are Cluster Headaches? as the injections will not get rid of other forms of headaches as it is not a pain killer.

Reply #14 - Apr 9^th, 2009 at 3:31pm Imitrex nasal spray never worked for me... just made me vomit. My neurologist says that because the nasal tissue often swells during an attack, the nasal spray does not work for most people.

Reply #17 - Apr 16^th, 2009 at 10:50pm the spray worked for me until my hits became more severe. I cant see how the spray could work for you if the injection didnt work, its the same meds, and the injection gets it in faster and more effectively.

icedragon Ex Member	Re: nasal sprays any1 tried these?? Reply #18 - Apr 17^th, 2009 at 12:40am The nasal sprays are bigger doses than the stat dose that could be one reason why it could work better. Also, it is possible that a person could inject the dose into the wrong area/body tissue completely missing the sub q and injecting it IM. just a thought. Thomas
