Other than word-of-mouth referrals from others that have suffered from migraines, one of the main methods people find us is by doing an internet search for either “Imitrex alternatives” or “sumatriptan alternatives”. If Imitrex/sumatriptan help you fight off the effects of a migraine, amino acids may provide a safe, effective and non-pharmaceutical alternative that can prevent a migraine from occurring in the first place.
Imitrex (sumatriptan) is believed to exert its therapeutic effects by binding with serotonin receptors on the intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves which results in cranial vessel constriction and decreased inflammation. However, because the drug only temporarily tricks the brain into believing there is more serotonin than there actually is, the effects wear off rather quickly and can set a person up for rebound headaches. Alternatively, a person often feels like they have a ‘headache hangover’ after taking these medications. Luckily, amino acid therapy provides a safe and effective alternative to Imitrex (sumatriptan).
Amino acid therapy involves providing the body the exact right balance of amino acids and cofactors necessary to restore proper neurotransmitter function. In the case of migraine headaches, providing each person the blend of amino acids they need restores proper circulation and blood vessel response so migraines are not triggered in the first place. In most cases, the proper use of amino acid therapy can provide an alternative to Imitrex (sumatriptan) by making the use of the medications unnecessary (i.e., no headache = no need for Imitrex (sumatriptan)).
