Imagran is the wonder drug for bad headache sufferers. I used to take 17 Imagran tablets a MONTH cause that's how many headaches I got a month. The RECOMMENDED dose is FOUR a month! But when your in unrelenting pain and you have tried Aspalgin, Stematil injections (hurts leg a lot, suppositorys are way better), Maxolon, Ergodryl, Imagran nose spray (yuk), Naramig (too slow, sometmes doesn't work, useless) Periactin (useless), Panadene Forte (useless), Restavit (absolutely horrible), Sandamigran (useless), Indocid (useless), Feldene (useless), Dialasin (useless), Specialists medication Dothep (drowsy and useless). The bad side effect of 2 years of Imagran is that your muscles deplete. I walked 1 mile and I could not lift my legs, it's like you've run a 50 mile marathon without practice. I take sleeping tablets now as often as I can to knock myself out (Nitrezepam). Imagine what Imagran is doing to your heart muscles.
