I'm so glad you posted this because I have the exact same situation: I normally take Imitrex injections for migraines: one will take care of it, I have nailed down most triggers like hormones, certain foods, etc., and if I rarely get aura (and sometimes get aura without the migraine pain). Well after taking the Zicam disolvable tablets, as directed, yesterday, around 5 pm I suddenly got blazing aura to where I couldn't properly read text on my monitor. It was really bad and pain did follow. After taking TWO Imitrex shots throughout the evening yesterday and sleeping through the night, I woke up with the migraine still not completely gone. It finally occurred to me that there might be a connection to Zicam, since that's the only thing differently that I did yesterday; I came online to check, and found your post- among many others!
I'm going to see my doctor today, but I am really worried about this severe headache and I will never, never take Zicam again.
