Interesting as I am just recovering from an unexplained detached retina and dense vitreous haemorrhage but not sure if related to the Sumatriptan injections I have been using for over 20 years.

Yes I have had retinal vein occlusion and I do believe it is from long-term use of imitrex and I have had two doctors tell me that this can happen. I just had another one in the other eye.

Yes, I have seen a eye specialist for a vascular burn out behind my eye. I do not reach for sumatriptan or rizatriptan as a first medication any more. It is my last choice if fiorecet fails. With my nsaid allergy I have few options. Your post resonates with me.

I’ve not heard of this I’m on this drug tablet form, I get the aura in my eyes, I will keep a watch on it now, thanks for the heads up ,

It is a matter of what works the best for each person and with the least side effects. I can share that with the nasal mist, you are not suppose to inhale when you spray. (It does taste awful running down the back of the throat). I often find the migraine will move to the opposite side of my head, after about a hour of relief, especially if I waited too long to use it.
