I Just Noticed When I Take Rizatriptan For Abortive. I Wake Up Drenching In Sweat.

Does anyone else experience this from this medicine. I know the sweat does not help with dehydration. Drinking watermelon juice and water today. Just re-added magnesium to my preventative. Hopefully this one is more gentle on my stomach.

Coconut water is great for electrolytes and dehydration. Doesn't need added sugar but be aware that sugar is also an electrolyte but too much isn't good either which watermelon juice is full of. Sweating steals electrolytes which will trigger a migraine.

I have taken Rizatriptan for years. Never had any issues with it other than drowsiness. Sweating is one of the known side effects.
