need some ZZzzs!
my night was terrible! i woke up at 3 am with a splitting migraine, which i attribute to stressful thoughts about my boss calling me. jeez, why am i so worked up about this?! so, i took an imitrex, and boy was that the wrong thing to do?! usually, imitrex works well for me (i've really only taken it 3 times before so i'm not an expert) but not last night. i think the sedating effects of the imitrex inadvertently caused some major anxiety problems. i called the doctor at 3 am to confirm that i wasn't losing my mind, and it was confirmed...if you are already anxious, imitrex will increase that feeling. good to know. i think i'll pass on the imitrex for future use, it bothers me that prescriptions can take such a toll. must get good night sleep tonight because i currently feel like i was run over by a semi. need ZZzzs...
Hope you fell better soon. I heard aleave is milder headache medicine. I've never taken headache medicine--I think drinking warm water and apple juice helps to calm it. In general I'd advise against taking medication except to use natural herb/alternative healing type of stuff.
