Question 1

how do you take amerge (naratriptan)?

Accepted Answer

For acute migraine: Amerge is a triptan used for acute treatment of migraine. The half life is long meaning that it doesn't work as well for many migraineurs as other triptans such as Imitrex or relpax (eletriptan). Some women with menstrual migraine find that it produces long lasting relief. When taken when the pain is mild, the efficacy of Amerge and all acute migraine medications is greatly increased.

Question 2

is it possible for dosage of naratriptan to affect severity of side effects?

Accepted Answer

DO NOT EXCEED: Recommended dosage is based upon safety as exceeding could result in heart attack or stroke, which has happened in many cases of too much too often.

Question 3

can you take citalopram and naratriptan?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Both of these medications  increase seratonin.  If they are monitored by your doctor it is acceptable to use both at the same time.  All of your physicians schold be informed of all medications, otc's, and nutracutacles you are taking.  Also, your pharmacist should have this information.

Question 4

does anyone take citalopram plus naratriptan?

Accepted Answer

Very few: Both group overlap covering some neurotransmitters and also could have drug drug interactions depending on the age sex and meds of the pt is taking so sometimes pharm d are really good about helping as they have drug drug interaction websites at their access doctors don't and they spend a lot if time educating pts on meds than we do so I use their resource as my team and I am very close to all.

Question 5

is naratriptan one of the migraine headache medicines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Naratriptan is known as amerge (naratriptan).
Naratriptan is used to treat the symptoms of migraine headaches (severe, throbbing headaches that sometimes are accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to sound or light).

Question 8

need advice on asthma medication ?

Accepted Answer

Many types...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin) or levalbuterol (Xopenex) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an another medication that can be used.

Question 9

why am i depressed while on medication?

Accepted Answer

Approaching: depression wi multiple modalities is best. There are many
things you can do for depression.  Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or &gt; of sleep per night &amp; eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +.  Recommend the “Feeling Good Book" by Dr. David Burns. Don't just read it - DO IT!

Question 10

are ther new medications forms on the horizon?

Accepted Answer

Several: Now that we have studies showing that long-term benefits for interferons and Copaxone are likely minimal at best, and that 60% of pts do not do well by 2 yrs, we are starting to see the emergence of far more potent meds.  Gilenya and tysabri (natalizumab) are here.  Tecfedera is close, lemtrada by end of year.  Daclizumab, ocrelizumab, the newer s-1-p drugs being looked at.  Even new drug for spasticity.
