What is the difference between a migraine sign and a symptom?
A migraine sign is an early warning that a migraine is about to strike. A migraine symptom is what happens to you when you are having a migraine attack.Signs that a migraine is coming
Most migraines come on without warning. However, sometimes you may get early warning signs that a migraine is about to hit. Some of the most common signs are:
- Suddenly feeling tired
- Suddenly feeling full of energy
- Feeling sad
- Craving certain foods
- Repeated yawning
- Blurred vision, seeing blind spots, flashing lights, and/or jagged lines
- Problems focusing eyes
- Numbness or tingling of the lips, face, or hands
- Weakness in the arms or legs
- Problems saying words and making sentences
It can be tricky to tell the difference between a migraine and a headache, unless you know what to look for. These are the most common migraine symptoms:
- Throbbing pain, usually on one side of your head, which can keep you from doing everyday tasks
- Sensitivity to light
- Sensitivity to sound
- Nausea
Migraine signs and symptoms can vary from person to person. They can also vary from one attack to another, even in the same person. Now that you have read this information, talk to your doctor and ask if RELPAX is right for you.
Important safety information
RELPAX is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Only your doctor can decide if RELPAX is right for you.
RELPAX should be taken as a single 40-mg tablet. If needed, and as directed by your healthcare professional, an additional 40-mg tablet can be taken at least 2 hours later. No more than two 40-mg tablets should be taken in any 24-hour period.
Most common side effects are dizziness, nausea, weakness, feeling sleepy, pain or pressure sensation in the chest or throat. Tell your doctor about any side effects you have.
If you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke, TIA, or uncontrolled blood pressure, you should not take RELPAX. Very rarely, certain people, even some without heart disease, have had serious heart-related problems. Talk to your doctor if you have risk factors for heart disease such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or if you are pregnant or nursing.
RELPAX, as with other drugs in its class (triptans), can cause serotonin syndrome, particularly when used with certain medications (SSRIs and SNRIs) commonly used to treat depression.
RELPAX should not be used within at least 72 hours of treatment with the following medicines: Nizoral®, Sporanox®, Serzone®, TAO®, Biaxin®, Norvir®, and Viracept®.
