See my post to your other thread. Just don't exceed 12mg/day unless you are absolutely desperate and willing to risk the cardiac consequences.

Hugs,

Kris

split the Imitrex doses up.

I got just as much relief from 1/3 of a shot as from a full dose, without all the cardiac risk, leaving 2 extra bullets for future battles.

:o Thanks but I already use 1/2 an injection. I only use it at kip 7 or more but at the moment I also have shingels and am not coping so well with the added pain and was thinking of useing Imigran nasel spray for kip 5 to 7
