Imitrex vs Relpax
 | Imitrex |  | Relpax |  |
| Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Sumatriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain. Sumatriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks. | Eletriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Eletriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain.

| Add Imitrex review it works sometimes not all the time,it makes me feel funny. I have very vivid dreams. Sometimes I wake up hyper-ventilating and shaking. I also noticed irregular heartbeat, as if I were about to have a heart attack. If you don't need this drug, DO NOT TAKE IT. But if you have severe headaches (like me) then it may/may not be in your interest. (I'm 14 years old) This medication does the job! Your migraine will go away! BUT it has given me horrible side effect's, jaw pain, body ache's. I feel very drained and tired after for at least a day or two. | Add Relpax review When I began taking Relpax, I classified it as a miracle drug. I would get a migraine, take a Relpax (I also took two aspirin, about an hour later) and the headache would vanish. I have been taking Relpax for years, sometimes as many as once a day. In the last several months, I have been experiencing terrible withdrawals if I do not take a Relpax, namely, crippling headaches, exhaustion, sore throat, etc. There is a website "Relpax withdrawals" that you should check out. So now I'm in trouble; this is the only thing that gets rid of my migraines, and if I don't take one every day, I get a migraine. I'm seeing my doctor next week to find a way out of this mess. This is the first time I've taken this medication. It worked in under 30 minutes. I've not taken anything that has relieve my headaches so quickly. I became a little dizzy and groggy so the next time I take it, I will lie down. I'm excited about it! | |||
