Yes, taking too much sumatriptan can be potentially lethal. Overdosing on this medication can lead to severe side effects, including cardiovascular complications such as heart attack or stroke. It is crucial to adhere to prescribed dosages and consult a healthcare professional if there are concerns about dosage or side effects. Always seek immediate medical attention in case of an overdose.

Should patients with atrial fibrillation take Sumatriptan for migraines?

Those who have atrial fibrillation should not be taking the triptan class of medications such as sumatriptan (Imitrex). Any person who has a prior history of heart condition should reconsider taking these drugs, but in clinical trials - the only people who had atrial fibrillation from the medication, were the ones who had a prior history of it. So, taking these medications can trigger this arrhythmia in those who already suffer from it.


Why does your headache feel worse after taking sumatriptan?

Some people react badly to sumatriptan, just as some people react badly to Penicillin. Treating migraines is all about trial and error, unfortunately. There may be other triptans you can take which do not cause you to feel worse (Zomig, Maxalt, Axert, Amerge, Relpax, Frova) I would not recommend Treximet, because that is just sumatriptan with naproxen added.
