Fellow sufferers,Last night I had a strange reaction to imitrex and was wondering if anyone has had the same. I woke at 1:30 am with a cluster. I went to my Oxygen tank and took an Imitrex tab. as usual and waited for it to subside. 15 mins went by and the cluster headache got so intense I almost passed out. I was delerious. I then took an imitrex injection 15 mins. after I took the tab. On my thigh, where I injected the imitrex It swelled up in a big welt the size of a half dollar. The welt was so big it was raised about 1/4 inch. and turned purple.My question then is, 1. has anyone had this happen to them and 2. Has anyone ever taken more than the recommended imitrex- ie; more than 2 injections in 24 hours. or tabs. along with injections.any info would be helpful-Thanks and hang in there.Chris
