 I switched to the imitrex nasal spray pre-op so that there would be no issue with absorption.  However, I don't think the regular imitrex is an issue if you want to continue.

I take it no problem. Works the same for me as before surgery.

My surgeon told me Imitrex was fine. I haven't had any severe headaches since surgery, well one now that I think about it and I did a Maxalt melt sublingual with no problem. I also have no problem swallowing pills.

I have used Imitrex several times since my surgery.  I started with the nasal spray but it suddenly didn't work so well after my surgery.  I know am back to taking the pills.  I feel like it hits me a little sooner and harder but it does still give me relief.

 I take the injectable Imitrex and love it.  It works much faster than the pill.
