Migraine Relief

Hi everybody,

Ahhhhh.... migraine relief! 

I think I've finally found a great combination of medicine and homeopathic remedies that are helping me get migraine relief.  The combination of Imitrex (or now the new Treximet that seems to be working better), hydrocodone (generic Lortab/Vicodin), ice packs, and peppermint aromatherapy, is my magic combination. 

This summer has been a tough one in terms of the frequency of my migraines.  I went for several months having migraines every day... and that was trying.  So, to end the summer on a high note having this combination working well, makes me very happy.  I've been able to travel and not feel the stress of possibly having a migraine for days during the trip.  It's still a frustration, but not as much stress knowing that the Treximet is really working right now.

I hope you all are doing well.

Wishing you all migraine relief,
Kelli  :)

Treximet - new from the makers of Imitrex

Hi everybody,

If you've been reading my posts for awhile, you know that the medicine that works best for me is Imitrex.  I just learned today that there is a new drug that uses the same main ingredient in Imitrex (sumatriptan)... and I tried a sample of it today and IT WORKED!  Now the big question is whether my insurance company is going to fill both a prescription for Imitrex AND Treximet.  If they will, that will probably double my medication each month, and I will be VERY happy about that.  They're made by the same company (GlaxoSmithKline), so I'm not getting my hopes up that insurance will cover it.  They're a different medication... but have the same main ingredient made by the same company... so maybe I'll still be limited to 9 of that type of medicine each month. I'm hoping not though... keep your fingers crossed for me!

Here's the main site for Treximet.  I don't endorse any medication, but the sumatriptan medication in Imitrex has been working for me for MANY years (maybe 15 now)... so I wanted to make sure you all knew about this one too.
