My doctor told me to take one 100mg Imitrex and 4 OTC ibuprofen. I’m thinking it was too much or something because I had bad side effects like sweating and out of it and panicky type feelings, also had bad pain in my shoulder blade and mildly out of breath (although this could be from the anxiety of being worried about this) I didn’t read the side effects before I took it and then read that heart problems are potential…anyone have any insight? i dont want to go to the ER for something that could just be a muscle spasm or something wierd from the medicine since I dont really have the money for it

OK – first; I wouldn’t take Imitrex and Ibuprofen together until you’ve taken Imitrex a few more times. Then, I’d work my way UP to 4 otc’s of ib.
First time I took Imitrex, I had the sweats, too.
If you take it again and get the sweats, go to the ER or talk to your doctor, depending on what the side-affect guide says (I can’t remember). I don’t know what to tell you about the shoulder pain.
