I've been taking imitrex for about four days now and my headaches are still present. w been should i go to the er?

The other option is a good urgent care center. A Neurologic evaluation, i.v. medication may be indicated. Keep well hydrated, avoid Deli meats and aged cheeses since these foods may worsen migraine headaches. Watch for signs of dizziness, imbalance and weakness.

Imitrex should not be used daily, but as needed for acute headache elimination. Will not break up headache patterns, especially if daily, which is best handled via preventative medication. ER is worst place to go due to brightness, commotion, stress, noise, all likely to make symptoms worse. Contact the doctor who prescribed Imitrex for next steps.
