Imitrex & Migraines

Has anyone heard of any complications from Imitrex for migraines?
Am trolling for anything re: cardiovascular side effects–angina, arrhythmias,
stroke, anaphylactic shock, death, heart attack, etc.

    Hi, I’m Deb, Eric’s wife, borrowing the acct. for the day.
    I am a TMJ patient.  I didn’t have the jaw surgery (almost did), but went
    the appliance/orthodontic route instead.  I, too, tried many painkillers.
    I did Darvocet, Tylenol #3, Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Anaprox, Stadol,
    Amitryptiline, and Flexiril (not all at the same time).

    Since the question was about Stadol, I will answer as best I can.  I only
    used it once, and I will never use it again.  Stadol took care of my
    headache, but it has a bitter back of the throat aftertaste, if you catch
    my drift.  According to my husband (who has seen me plastered many a time
    on painkillers, mind you), he said the Stadol left me higher than he has
    ever seen me.  It also left me very opinionated, and Eric couldn’t stop me
    from expressing those opinions for about 8 hrs.
    We decided to go back to the Flexiril, which works just fine for me, and
    doesn’t have nearly as many side effects as some of the other meds
    (itching, hallucinating, severely upset stomach, etc.).
    Deb
