Guest guest Posted September 23, 1998 Report Share Posted September 23, 1998 Lyn, thank you for the information on the new drug, I have recently been changed to the DHE nasal spray for migraines called Migranal. It is in the same dosage I had for injections, but it is a faster and less invasive way to use it. I have tried it twice in the last week and it worked GREAT, quickly and easily. I developed an allergy to the Imitrex injections and oral pills last year so they changed me to the DHE, it was not always so effective in the injections because I waited too long to use it, (last minute failsafe). But with the nasal spray, it is very easy, can carry the kit in my purse and use it anywhere. Thank you again, your friend, Cheryl :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 1998 Report Share Posted September 23, 1998 Hi Lyn and Cheryl.....I take Depakote 500mg daily for headaches and it works but when I don't take it I pay for it...the headaches. Its cheaper for me then these other drugs. I have never heard of using a nasal spray for headaches. Does it work well? Tammy CH>From: Bobbi99932@...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 1998 Report Share Posted September 23, 1998 I take Depakote too, still get occassional migraines. Imitrex is now in a nasal spray and works in 20 minutes. Sumitriptan is the generic name. Tastes awful after you swallow, and can make your chest feel a little tight, but thats all.
