Jim, I am surprised that he diagnosed it as migraines if you were able to drive yourself to the doctor. Movement, light and sound make me physically sick when I have a migraine. I have to lay in a dark room, with a pillow over my head, and as much sound as possible removed. If I do have to adjust or move to get comfortable, that usually causes me to get sick. Most people that I know who have migraines have very similar symptoms to varying degrees.
Imitrex is good if you catch it as a migraine is starting, and it will work over the course of a day or so if you take it after the full blown migraine has begun, but why does he want you to take it for a week? It's not a daily medication and if it's treating a migraine it shouldn't take a week of imitrex to figure it out. :-(
MikeB, has your wife tried Maxalt (rizatriptan)? I went to it because the imitrex pill didn't cut it anymore and I HATE having to self-inject imitrex although it works. Maxalt melts on your tongue, which was a BIG PLUS to me because most times my migraines are bad enough that I am sick to my stomach too, so taking the imitrex was a waste cause it didnt stay in my stomach long enough to dissolve.
