Since doctors' offices can often be very busy, it's important to be ready with the information your doctor needs to hear. When you meet with your doctor, be prepared to sit down with him or her and discuss your answers to the following questions about your migraine symptoms. How many headaches did you have in the last month? Did you have nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound during your headache? How long did they last? Could you still participate in your daily activities, or did you have to lie down or reduce your activity level? Did you take something to treat your headache? Did it take all the pain away? Did it relieve your nausea, or sensitivity to light and sound? The more specific you can be, the more likely it is that you'll receive a medicine that will help relieve your symptoms. So be sure to review the above questions before you visit with your doctor. Click here for the next step in your P.L.A.N. to get the relief you need.

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.
