Worse symptoms after imitrex?

[diaba]

I tried imitrex for migraines for the 1st time about 6 days ago. It eventually helped after making it somewhat worse initially(layering another headache on top, and increase in nausea)

Ever since, I've had pins and needles feeling in my body, but worse in my arms/legs, worst in feet. Also feel more fatigue and wobbly in the legs.

I have lesions on both sides and feel like the med flared them up a bit. anyone else experienced this?

thx, diana

I take Zomig which is similar (Imitrex always made me feel nauseous and made my heart race).

After, I always have more fatigue and my back gets extremely sore. But my head feels better, so I will deal with it.

thanks for sharing your experience. The migraines have been harder on me lately, so was initially glad to find something that helped.

Not sure now whether to take maybe 1/2 when the next one hits, or if I should try a different, similar med.
