Title: drugs and cycle extension questions
Post by dagger on Dec 27^th, 2004, 9:54pm

I read a lot here about meds like imitrex and prednisone extending the length of the cycle. I took pred. for the first time during the last cycle and it was the longest one I ever had. This time I used pred. and imitrex and the cycle has gone on even longer. What is the relationship? Why do these drugs have that effect? Do they know?

They've just figured out (in the past couple of years) that Imitrex can cause rebound headaches. There is no 'proof' that Prednisone can extend a cycle, although I've heard many mention it too.
Only you know how you feel .... and meds affect people differently. If you feel these meds are only making things worse, talk to your doc and stop taking them.

Remember: Many times, Prednisone must be weaned off of
