Welcome, also from a new member. I used to suffer migraines quite a bit, and they put me on imiprimine, which I assume is similar to imitrex. What a goddawful drug. So I know what you mean. It turned me into a zombie, like having a chemical labotomy is what I'd call it. Lasted for days. Yet doctors go on merrily prescribing it because it has 'no abuse potential'. Of course it has no abuse potential because you feel worse than before. Unfortunately this is the institutional schizophrenia that brings most of us here. I wonder how many doctors actually consider the contradiction. I haven't met one yet.
There are genuine gems of wisdom here on IOPlist. Just read everything that you can. Be safe if you get on a real painkiller. Don't take more than you need, keep doses a small as possible. And don't obsess over meds or pain (I know, easier said than done).
