Personally, I don’t believe that Imitrex is addictive. Also I don’t use a full shot for each Cluster attack. I use the “imitrex tip”. You will find that on the side bar to the left. It is a way to get 3 doses out of one shot of Imitrex. Simply “click” on the tab marked, (imitrex tip). This also saves money.
Having talked to my Neurologist he has said this to me, "Dave, Imitrex was designed for people with Migraines and they seem to need the full dose of Imitrex. You Cluster guys don't seem to need the full dose. Go ahead and try using a 1/3 dose". Like I said this 1/3 dose does the trick for me. Good Luck!
