In Reply to: How much Imitrex is too much? posted by jeremy on September 06, 2001 at 18:43:32:
During my husband's last ten-week cycle he took Imitrex shots or nasal spray every day. (Pills are too slow.) Before the end of that cycle he started having rebounds which made his pain almost constant. With his present cycle he is taking Verapamil(240mg LA morning and night). He has been on that since mid-June and so far has never had the sharp pain break through. In 52 years of battling the beast, this is the first preventative that has worked for him. We have Imitrex available just in case, but he won't rely on it alone again. We have been off the website for a long time but just wanted to post this to share experience and give someone hope.
