| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR IMITREX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Migraine | No noticeable side effects except euphoria & relaxation when pain & nausea have gone. Nausea is the result of the Migraine & diminishes after Imitrex | M | 76 | 10 years 50mg 1X day | 7/6/2022 | 5 | For Migraine headaches | Frequent urination | Im taking Sumatriptan daily for years. Quite often I will need to supplement my dose with another 50 mg in the afternoon. I find that as the years pass I'm needing to supplement the first dose more often. | M | 57 | 10 years 100 mg 1X day | 12/30/2021 | 5 | Migraine | For 20 minutes after dosage, I have increased nausea, stomach pain, persistent yawning, hot and cold flashes, goosebumps, heartbeat thumping in ear, frequent urination. After 20 minutes, complete relief from head pain and nausea associated with migraine and a little bit of muscle stiffness. All other symptoms disappear. | Benefits completely outweigh the side-effects. This is a miracle drug for migraine sufferers. | F | 49 | 9 years 100mg 3X M | 12/2/2021 | 5 | Migraine | Feeling tired | It really works for me. The only medication that actually takes away migraine pain for a few hours. I have only one side effect of feeling tired, but I better feel tired than in pain spending whole day in a dark room. this is the only medication that actually works for my migraine that lasts for several days. | F | 44 | 2 years 25 2X day | 4/9/2021 | 5 | Severe migraines | Side effects I've felt when taking Sumatriptan 50mg Hot/cold flashes Chest heaviness/tightness Sour stomach Frequent urination | I can deal with most of the side effects because Sumatriptan is the only thing that wipes out my migraines within a couple of hours, however when you get "comfortable" in bed (trying to get rid of the migraine) I have to get up and pee every 5 minutes. I'm not even exaggerating. And it's not a little bit, it's like I just woke up gotta pee. Or I drank too much alcohol kind of pee. I pee 6-10 times every time I have to take Sumatriptan. The nausea is bad too--I just pray I make it to the bathroom and back to bed when having to pee so much! Otherwise the benefit of this medicine outweighs the side effects for me. | F | 39 | 1 days 50 1X day | 10/22/2020 | 5 | Migraine | Frequent urination. Urgent need to urinate | F | 37 | 10 days 30 mg 1X AN | 10/10/2020 | 5 | Migraine | I often feel nauseous and vomit after taking this medicine. It usually takes an hr or more to work. | This medicine works more than 90 percent of the time. It's worth the side effects. | F | 38 | 0 days 100 mg | 5/14/2020 | 5 | Migraines | Stiff jaw muscle, particularly noticeable when eating Frequent urination Feeling of intense sadness | M | 48 | 1 days 50MG | 12/27/2019 | 5 | migraines | F | 43 | 15 years | 7/17/2018 | 5 | migraine | Headache normally dissipates within 45 minutes. However, as the migraine dissipates it leaves me with stiff joints and joint pain for several hours. This medication also leaves me extremely sad to the point of despondency for several hours. Both of these side effects are much less noticeable if I am able to sleep following taking the medication. | F | 51 | 5 years 50 1X day | 2/22/2018 | 5 | Cluster headaches | F | 46 | 1 days 5"mg | 2/23/2017 | 5 | Chronic migraine | Only in the past year BP goes way up chest pain sweating very scary . Usually happens in the afternoon in time for klonopin and baby aspirin makes it better I also have to break the pills I into quarters now. I used to take 100 tab no problem | Have taken it since it was invented. Only thing that helps but having problems so I'm ready for drugs in 2017 that have less side effects. | 47 | 10 years 100 | 10/24/2016 | 5 | Bad headaches/migraines | Hasn't happened until recently, but side effect I'm not experiencing is my head getting fuzzy/cloudy after about 20 minutes. But that feeling is better than the piercing pain of a migraine! | F | 20 | 1 years 50 MG | 10/23/2016 | 5 | Migraines | Along with all of the other described side effects such as tightness of muscles, burning sensations, and skin sensitivities I also experience depression and excessive emotions such as extreme sadness and irritability. | It's the only thing that works for my migraines. | F | 33 | 10 years 50 MG | 10/22/2016 | 5 | migraine | none | i can only use the brand name, not the generic | F | 63 | 23 years 50 mg 1X AN | 9/18/2016 | 5 | Brutal migraine headaches | I get dizzy and flush within an hour of taking a pill. Worse side effects if I am active. Doesn't matter; it is so worth it. Nothing ever worked until I took Imitrex. | Works within 30 minutes for me. | M | 45 | 6 months 100mg | 7/29/2016 | 5 | Migraine | Chest tightness, neck pain and urination after 1/2-1 hour of 50 mg dose | M | 45 | 1 days 50 | 4/21/2016 | 5 | Migraine | Slight tightness in throat/chest. Frequent urination. Slightly bruised feeling all over skin. | F | 50 | 20 years 100MG 1X AN | 3/29/2016 | 5 | Chronic migraine | F | 53 | 10 years 100 | 2/22/2016 | 5 | Migraines | None | I read other reviews after being prescribed Imitrex by my doctor. I was pretty worried to take it. But after dealing with a migraine for 4+ days, I was ready to try anything. Within 40 minutes of taking the 100 MG pill, my migraine was completely gone. The best part is that I didn't experience any of the side effects that others have reported. Lifesaver medicine! | F | 31 | 1 days 100 MG 1X W | 2/9/2016 |
IMITREX (SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE): 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. FDA Approval Date: 1996-12-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
