What do you know about the new drug Treximet?
I just saw a commercial on this. I researched it on the web and can't tell if it should be used as a daily preventive or at migraine onset. What do you all know about it?
I just went to a neurologist (finally) 7-31 due to major increase in migraines and reduced effectiveness of Relpax. He put me on the Treximet and I have had faster relief. It still has the wierd buzzy feeling that I got from Imitrex for about 45 minutes after taking it, but is working better than the Relpax did. Also have FINALLY listened when he told me to take it at the firs tonset of a migraine rather than wait to see if it really is one. t is not a daily preventative. I was also put on a calcium beta blocker with no side effects to note and am not sure if I havve reduced frequency but am willing to give it a few months.

Hi Karen L,
Treximet is the latest medication to abort a Migraine attack. It contains two medications, sumatriptan and naproxen, where the other triptans, like Imitrex only have one medication in it. It is best taken at the first sign of a Migraine and according to your doctors orders.
Good luck
Nancy

Don't like it!! It takes too long to work. The reg Imitrex nasal spray works much better, and it is less mg..go figure.
