Hi there
You just never know what side effects you will have in taking a medication and particularly a combination of different medications.
What does your doctor say about your hair loss? Does he or she feel that the Imitrex could be the cause?
I think you are going to need to seek the help of a dermatologist who specializes in the treatment of hair loss. Here is the web site for the American Academy of Dermatology.
I hope this helps some. Thank you for your question.
