Well, I could not take it anymore, had the wife drive me to the urgent care, for the dreaded shot (which was demerol {the last time} that made me wheel chair wridden to the hospital doors and crawl up the porch to the house, then the 16 hours of sleep). This time, I was surprised when I was immediately given oxygen. I was not sure if it was that or the two vicoin I had previously chewed and swallowed, but I felt much better. Then, much to my suprise, I was given an injection of Imitrex ... with a perscription for the tablets. From the literature that came with it, it seems to be for migranes ... take an additional tablet if the pain does not go away after TWO HOURS!, it will be over by then. It also says ... the safety of treating an average of more than four headaches in a 30 day period has not been established. My question is on the dosage for CH. Since CH is a different animal, has anyone taken more of Imitrex? They dont say what happens if you take too much, just dont do it. Anyone know what could happen, and what are the penalties for trying to get relief? Thanks in advance for any replies....
