I'm having itchy skin. It's red and I need to find out which meds I'm allergic too. I've had this happen before. Taking generic maxalt (rizatriptan) and mannitol. My meds include a generic for nexium. Also, my lisinopril had changed in pill color. ## If you're certain that your symptoms are due to an allergic reaction, then the first thing to do is too look at anything new you've started taking, just before it started, or anything that's changed, such as that Lisinopril tablet, if it's fairly new to you. Have you tried Benadryl, or any other allergy remedy to see if it helps? Benadryl may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and dry mouth, as side effects, but it is a miracle allergy remedy. Ref: Benadryl Information There are multiple allergy issues in our house...

Rizact is a generic form of Rizatriptan (trade name Maxalt), a 5-HT1 receptor agonist of the triptan class of drugs developed by Merck & Co. for the treatment of migraine headaches. It is available in strengths of 5 and 10 mg as tablets. Rizact is made by Cipla in India and is usually available over the counter.

I have a really bad migraine, the first one I've had since i started taking Belviq. Can i take my Maxalt? if not how long do i need to be off Belviq before i can take it? ## Hello, Dina! How are you? No, they shouldn't be taken together, unless your doctor approves, because they can both raise serotonin levels, which may create the risk of your developing serotonin syndrome which can be fatal. It would be best to check in with your doctor to see what you can safely take, with the Belviq. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Belviq as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started getting severe headaches back in high school. my migraines started in college, especially post college. I am almost 25. I was prescribed Maxalt to get rid of my migraines at first which did not help at all. my neurologist would up my dosage and to say the least, it was like tylenol. it did nothing. Relpax was like my miracle drug. my issue was that over the past year or two, my migraines worsened and because you're not supposed to take relpax more than twice a day or three times a week, I felt that taking a daily pill would be the best option. I've been on Topamax for 2 weeks now and have seen a significant difference in my migraines. My work environment has been extremely stressful especially in the past couple of days and usually I would be coming home with a migrain...

3 nights ago, I suddenly developed chills on my hands and feet; followed by ache and soreness. Seemed like like sore throat, the pain under my left jaw( right side too but not as painful) with tension headache or migraine( I'm a migraine sufferer) took maxalt melt but didn't work. Nausea and acidic stomach. After vomit twice, I took 2 x 500mg Aspro - headache gone after half hour, but nausea and pain under chin and jaw kept me from sleeping. I found some Roxithromycin and took one 150mg tab on the third day. The pain around my neck, and collarbone abated. It's Easter weekend can't see my doctor till next Tue or Wed (another 2-3days). Should I continue taking the Roxithromycin until I see my doc? I also have some amoxicillin but I try not to mix. Thanks

My wife has been on Brintellix/Trintellix for nearly a year now with great results. No other anti-depressant has been as effective in treating her symptoms. However, she has also suffered from migraines over the years, and she is not allowed to take the triptans that she used to take (Maxalt, etc.). Normally the Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) has been enough, but this most recent one was bad enough to require a trip to urgent care and a shot of a narcotic painkiller. Any suggestions on what migraine meds she can talk to her doctor about? ## Topamax, works awesome for me, it's cool once you get past the brain fog, and the weight loss. ## Hello, Patrick! How is your wife doing? Fioricet might also be another option to try, if her doctor approves. I didn't fin...

I just started taking Contrave and on day three I started having a terrible headache. I am on day four and want to know if I can take my Fioricet with the Contrave? ## Hello, Alma! How are you? There is an increased risk of seizures if you combine these medications, so it is best not to do so, without your doctor's approval, according to FDA reports. There is also a risk of liver damage, or failure. Have you tried anything else to alleviate the headache? ## My first day taking Contrave , My eyes felt funny and I felt anxious, Then my head started busting, I’m currently taking Trintellix 10 mg for depression and I can’t help but think these 2 medicines may not be good to take together, Help I can’t take my Fiorcet or Maxalt for my headache

I took one maxalt for a migraine and saw my pain dr. I also take percocet and my urine came back positive for lortab. I never took one. Is this possible? They sent it to the lab. ## So are you saying that your urine test came back positive specifically for Lortab, or did it just show positive for opiates in general? What did the doctor say about the result. I assume they are aware of your Maxalt prescription?
