When Is Imitrex Prescribed For Chronic Tension Headaches Instead Of Ketorolac?
I have chronic tension headaches.....since age 25.....I m now 49. A hospital physician finally gave me a non- narcotic medication that worked......Ketorolac. Why would my doc decide to have me try Imitrex instead? He says he can only prescribe me 9 Immitrex pills a month. The hospital sent me home with a prescription for Ketorolac one every 6 hours or as needed. I m confused........

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the main concern of your is headache then why not come out of this without the help of medicine when you better know that the headache is functional then try to come out of this in that way only, control your thoughts, be positive, practical, try some relaxation therapy, yoga, meditation, as long as the narcotic drugs are concern it is not good for health so why doctors avoid to prescribe it, hope this information helps, take care.
