[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 704308, member: 20814"] Susiestar, I'm sorry you are having problems with Imitrex. I have taken it for many years for migraines too, but have never experienced hallucinations. And yes, you are limited to 9 pills a month. Any more, and there's reason to look for other reasons for migraines. As I've gotten older, I find that I don't take it as often as I used to; I think my migraines were menstrual-related. I found too, that if I wait too long into the migraine, hoping it would just go away (yeah, right!) I have a harder time getting rid of it, and might have to take two doses in a 24 hour period. So now, at the first sign of a migraine, I take it. My daughter takes Imitrex too, but her dose is half of mine (50mg for her) because she says it it can make her feel "really out of it" if she takes the full 100mg dose. She says that she feels sluggish on the 100mg dose. My daughter and I are only 15 lbs apart in weight. Your side effect is unusual, and I hope your upcoming appointment leads to some answers and a solution. Do you take other medications as well? Perhaps consulting with a pharmacist about drug interactions would be useful for you. I'm sorry you are suffering from migraines, I know how bad they can be. Let us know what comes of your appointments. [/QUOTE]
