A member asked:

When i take imitrex (sumatriptan) it feels like my head is, or is that not a normal side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Huh?: Is what? I assume you realize you left out what your head feels like. In any case, discuss this side effect with whomever is your treating physician.
