Nancy,
This last October was the first time I had
used Imitrex and I ended up using it every day for
about 8 weeks. The first six weeks it made the headache
worse (an instant 10 on the kip scale) for about a
half hour before it would go away. Yes it felt like
my head was going to explode, and if it didn't work,
and I waited 2 hrs for a second snort it would be
2 1/2 hrs of pain. After about 6 weeks of daily
Imitrex, it stopped escalating the pain after
taking the Imitrex nasal. I think I'll go back to
just using Oxygen and Percodans the next time.
