Learn how to manage your migraine attacks. Here are a few simple ideas that may help you manage your migraines. You should try and work them into your daily routine in order to help control your attacks.

Keep IMITREX close at hand
You never know when a migraine will strike. So be sure to keep your medication close by. Take it with you wherever you go. Refill your prescription when you still have a few doses left, so that you are never caught without your IMITREX.

Maintain a regular sleep schedule
Research has shown that it is especially important to maintain a regular sleep pattern. Go to bed around the same time every night and start each day at approximately the same time, even on weekends. Try to avoid naps or oversleeping.

Reduce stress
Cutting down on stress doesn't just help reduce the frequency of migraines but can improve your overall sense of well-being. So take breaks. Even better, take vacations. Consider joining a local yoga or stress-reduction group.

Exercise with care
Exercise helps some migraine sufferers. You should consult your doctor if you want to begin or alter an exercise regimen.

  IMITREX is a prescription medicine for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura, in adults. You should not take IMITREX if you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke or TIAs, peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud syndrome, or blood pressure that is uncontrolled. If you have risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or are a smoker, you should be evaluated by your doctor before taking IMITREX. Very rarely, certain people, even some without heart disease, have had serious heart-related problems when taking IMITREX.

If you are currently taking other medications or if you are pregnant, nursing, or thinking about becoming pregnant, you should talk to your doctor before taking IMITREX. If your headaches are not migraines, IMITREX is not for you.
