Title: Imigran Injection (Imitrex)
Post by wildhaus on Aug 21st, 2009 at 3:56pm
I will start to use Imigran Injection solution. (Imitrex)
as a test to determen my tolarence and reaction and
effectiveness to / of  Imigran,
as an alternative to Zomig Nasal…… if I am forced
to use it.... when nothing works.....

What I wonder is what is the most effective place
to inject the Imigran…..

I was suggested to inject into the thigh, but would like
to have the knowledge of the experienced….

For me it works fastest if I inject it into the abdomen.

Hey Michael,

I was just mentioning in another thread here that I had read about pinching some belly fat and injecting there.

This works way better and less painful than anywhere else for me, even though I'm dang skinny and can maybe only pinch an inch.  :)

You've read the "Imitrex tip" on this site I hope (It's in a side bar over there on the left). It has enabled myself and others to get twice as many effective injections for our $.

I prefer the Q-tip variant with a 1/3 dose.
There once was a post somewhere describing how to modify the auto-injector to only inject half of the dose.
This doesn't work anymore since the auto-injectors were modified.
