NeitherHere Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I gave in and finally got back on imitrex (sumatriptan) and immediately remembered why I quit. My doctor 4x my dosage. When I first started taking it years ago it made me sick and I was going through so much I didn't realize the imitrex was why it was happening. This time I was at work and GOT REALLY SICK AND DIZZY. I almost quit taking it on day 3 and decided to just keep going. Now it seems to be effective, reducing the intensity and severity of latent attacks even off dose and all. It's "working" but I'm a bit worried about participating in my busting program (that is also a personal spiritual deal for me) I know at least one thing I use is absolutely off the table because it can cause life threatening interaction. I haven't had an attack in a few days off the imitrex until a light shadow this morning. Took my tablet and it's all gone. I'm wondering, how do you know it's safe to taper off or quit for the time being. How do I know "it's passed" while on the tryptans? This isn't a clean cut ordeal like busting tends to be...
