User Reviews for Eletriptan

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: This is not an inexpensive drug, but it has completely taken care of my headache problems. I take one 40 mg Relpax at the beginning of my migraine (which is usually accompanied by nasal congestion), and I'm typically back to normal within one hour. For a long time I didn't realize I had migraines; I thought they were side effects of some kind of sinus infection. Once I started looking for a migraine remedy I tried a couple of migraine prescription drugs. Relpax was the most effective for me. (Different drugs work best for different people. Try a few until you find the one that works for you.) I'm very pleased with, and grateful for, Relpax. Instead of being out of commission for two days, I'm back to normal within an hour.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I am a 15 year migraine patient, and have exhausted migraine preventatives and abortives. When I found Relpax, I was and still am completely thankful. There are zero side affects in my case, and when I'm sick to my stomach, it takes care of that too. This is the miracle drug for migraine patients.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I'm 20, and I've had migraines since I was 6 years old. I had tried everything my doctor could think of before I went to a neurologist, and she suggested Relpax. I will never go back to any of the "home remedies" or any other medication as long as Relpax is on the market. I get visual blind spots when a migraine is setting in and I take it as soon as the spots appear, which is usually 10 minutes before the pain starts. Within 30 minutes, I'm back to feeling great.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have tried Amerge, Maxalt, Imitrex, Zomig, Frova and Axert. I liked Amerge but I tended to use 2 pills. Imitrex ALWAYS made me sicker before it helped me. Zomig and Frova took away some of the pain and left the nausea. Maxalt made me so loopy I could hardly think and Maxalt Mlt wasn't as bad but made me so tired I couldn't function at work. Axert was good but insurance wouldn't cover it but I liked Relpax better because one pill nearly always killed it. In 3 years I have taken 2 pills only twice. Cons of Relpax: Expensive and will not go generic soon. Pre-packaged 6 pills to box (ask Pharmacist to put Rx in bottle with label) Pros: Low Nausea One pill takes away episode Pfizer has $15 off Rx program Doctor will often give samples

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have had cluster migraine for 30 years. No painkiller ever helped. Relpax can stop a cluster in its tracks.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax has changed my life. I used to suffer for 3 days with such painful migranes. I couldn't even leave the bedroom. Any light or sound would cause me to vomit. If I start to get a migrane I take 1 Relpax and I am relieved. The side effects are minimal, maybe a little light-headed, just like after a glass of wine! I am a nurse and I recommend this medication to anyone who has suffered from migraines.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have to say I love Relpax. I sit under florescent lights and in front of a computer all day long and when I have a migraine I take Relpax and within 20 minutes the pain goes away. The only side effects I have are the pain in my jaws and throat and my arms get really heavy. But it's nothing compared to the pain I fell under these bright lights with a migraine. I don't think that this is an expensive medicine, with my insurance I pay less than 10 dollars for a box of 12 of them. I think I would think different if I didn't have insurance for sure but I would pay any amount of money for these little orange pills.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: This is a great medicine for migraine. Relpax works better for me that any other triptan medication, although Maxalt seems to work also. But Relpax works even faster than Maxalt. Unfortunately, like all triptans, it is exceedingly expensive, forcing me to seek a different type of medication. I'll be very happy if (when) Relpax becomes available in a generic.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax is the most reliable migraine medication for me, been using it for 3-4 years, 2-6 times/month. I tell anyone with migraines to try Relpax. Within 1.5 hours my pain is gone, very rarely have I needed 2 pills. I do have side effects: my arms feel really heavy and weak, my chest feels achy, and my throat feels tight. This will start within the first 30 minutes but be completely gone by the time my pain is gone. I take Excedrine for my migraines that have a low intensity/pain, which usually works, but if not I take Relpax. If the headache is terrible right off, I know to take the Relpax right away. I may feel wiped out for the rest of the day, but I can work and do what I need to.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have really severe migraines about 4-5 times per week. My doctor suggested Relpax! I tried it, and it took my migraine away within 20 minutes. The best medication I have tried by far. I take 20mg pills. I decided to use that dosage because I can get more pills for my money. I would say the downsides to Relpax are the blurred vision and upset stomach. I generally try to drink a lot of fluids and eat a small snack when I take it. This seems to help settle the upset stomach quicker. This medication is extremely expensive.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have been getting excruciating migraine headaches since about age ten. I've been on such a long list of medicines that I can't even begin it. I ended up popping Motrin 800mg tablets like they were tic tacs and holding on for three days. Relpax has changed my life, but the price is killing me.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I was offered this medicine by my doctor to try after 30 years of suffering with migranes. Within 20 minutes the symptoms are gone. The heavy feeling across my chest, arms and neck and difficulty swallowing are inconvenient, but I am functional and it is easier to tolerate than a 3 day incapacitating headache. The cost almost floored me. $187.00 for 8/ 20 mg. pills. I will only use it under the most extreme circumstances.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax is a great migraine medicine, I have tried ibuprofen 800mg, Elavil, Maxalt, Imitrex, Midrin and countless others. Relpax stops the migraine quickly but it is ridiculously expensive, even with my copay it is $119.00 for 12. I still have a couple left from samples but I can't wait for a generic brand!

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I am a migraine sufferer. They tend to last for several days before I start to feel relief. Relpax for me doesn't seem to change that. Even after multiple doses I continue to be in agonizing pain. But not all medicines will work the same for everyone.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I've had migraines (several types and causes) for about 22 years. I've tried about every other triptan and preventive medication that's out there. Relpax works the best, by far. I have little side-effects, other than it makes me a little tired. But I'd rather have that than a debilitating migraine for days. It works in about 30 minutes and you can totally function well on it. The only reason I give it a 9 is because it's expensive. With Insurance I pay $30 for 6 pills. And half the time insurance won't cover it which makes it about $220 for 6 to 8 pills. But if you can afford it, it's definitely worth the money to live a normal life again!

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Of all the migraine medicines I have taken, Relpax has worked the best for me. The side effects are less for me than Imitrex was. Maxalt made me sleepy and didn't always work. Imitrex didn't always work either. The only reason Relpax gets a 9 instead of 10 is because it is so expensive.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I've had to try several medications for my migraines and relpax is by far the best one!

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax is effective in taking away migraine pain 99% of the time. For me, the best part was making me feel less nauseous, and less sensitive to sound/light. The WORST part was the side effects. I experienced muscle cramps in my upper body for about 30 minutes.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: My migraines get pretty severe, and I get pretty nauseous, however I have never actually vomited except for the time that I tried Relpax. It may work for some people, but in my experience it just made things worse.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: This is the only medicine on the market that has given me any relief. I am so thankful.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I have had severe migraines since I was 8 years old and then a friend recommend Replax. She had begun to use it for her migraines. So I asked me doctor to prescribe and it has literally changed my life. I do usually have to take two, and they are expensive, but two pills that work, at any cost, are worth being migraine free! If you are a sufferer, try it!

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Medication has worked well for me, with no side effects. I find sitting in a warm bath with low lighting is the most effective way to let the medication work.

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax has more side effects, for me, than other Migraine Medications, including vomiting and the heaviness in my chest. Originally I was prescribed Relpax 20 but needed to go up to the Relpax 40, the pain was mostly relieved, but the substantially increased nausea made me change to a medicine in the same drug family but resulted in less nausea than Relpax. (The heaviness in the chest isn't all that uncomfortable...its a trade-off that is well worth it).

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: I've only used relpax 3 times and it worked so well, it did make me sleepy, but I had to lie down anyway because I can't function with a migraine. I slept for 1 1/2 hours and woke up headache free!

Relpax (eletriptan) for Migraine: Relpax is effective for taking away my migraine pain most of the time. I find I have to take 2 occasionally. The WORST part is the side effect. It makes my joints ache (seems like all of them) for several hours after the migraine is gone. But at least it takes away the migraine. I guess the joint pain is the lesser of the two evils and I am able to function.
