Re: Imitrex Injections / Anti-Nausea meds

I've tried both Imitrex pills and injections, and the injections by far work
faster, though the side effects seem to be increased (throat tightness, sore
top of head, generally feeling yucky) with the injections. I think the
injections also work better, as you don't have to worry about the digestive
process. I'm surprised about the insurance coverage, as the injections are
so much more expensive than the pills, at least here in the Pacific
Northwest.
