A former colleague of mine will bring me OTC triptans, but only has a backpack since she is attending a 4-day-long conference and has no checked-in luggage.
I prefer Imitrex nasal spray to both medications in tab form, but spray is too bulky (I need a lot). So between Imitrex tabs and Relpax tabs, if you have tried both, which would you recommend? |

Chemistries are so different with meds and as to which works better, which do you find helps more? I prefer Relpax as it works better for me, I have fewer side effects with it, and it is more convenient to carry (though this is the least of my concerns but a bonus.) I would go with whatever works best.

I have asked for Relpax. It has been years since I took tablets, but if my memory does not fail me, Relpax caused less nausea than Imitrex tabs did.
I have migraines accompanied by nausea, and I do not need MORE nausea caused by the medication! |

I personally use Relpax for Migraine.
I also get vertigo, and Imitrex seemed to increase the frequency and severity of that so... |

I tried Relpax. Havent tried Imitrex. Relpax worked to get rid of my migraines, but I could only take 2 pills a week, and I got a lot more migraines than that! Btw what are Triptans?
