"I started getting really bad headaches at a young age but never thought it was anything serious until I became pregnant and they became worse. I tried everything from Excedrine migraine to Aleve. About 9 months ago my doctor gave me a sample of Treximet and I had my doubts but it actually worked. The only side effect that I had was a burning feeling in my nose, but the pain was gone and I could deal with that."

"Very good migraine medicine. I've taken it on several different migraine attacks and it works every time. I do get the side effect of the "warm/tingling sensation" that scared me the first time I took it, but I immediately called my doctor and that is a mild side effect of the drug. Also, I tend to get a heavy sensation around the neck area and tingly sensation in the nose, but they go away after an hour or two and the migraine is completely GONE. Miracle drug for sure! Ask your doctor or neurologist about Treximet!"

"For me, this is truly a wonder drug. Knocks out migraine in about half an hour. Well worth the money, especially when my migraines have lasted for many days in the past. The only side effect is this strange loopiness that comes after about an hour, but it ends an hour or so later. And, compared to the headache, short term loopiness is certainly not a bad thing."

"Yes, the migraine went away. Its the side effects. Appetite immediately went down the drain, irritable, most of all itchy. Itchy all over like crawling skin. Even worse the itching focused on my manhood if ya catch the drift. Loosing my mind.... I don't recommend it."

"Great medicine. The only bad thing is it is expensive! $225 for 9 pills. Well worth it though. I take it when I feel a migraine start and it's gone in about 20 minutes. The only side effect I had was really heavy extremities for about an hour. I could deal with that though compared to the migraine."

"I am 30 and have had migraines since I was 14. My head has always hurt (to the touch) the day after a migraine. I did not experience that after taking Treximet nor did I have any side effects. I absolutely love this medicine."

"This is the best migraine medicine I have tried. It has been the only migraine medication to work on my migraines and with an immediate result. It works most of the time, but not always. Restated, I have never had a migraine medication work."

"I have used Treximet for about 5 years to treat my migraines. Best drug ever for relief. Works for me in about 10-15 minutes. I have tried Relpax, and Imetrex with no relief. So glad you can get Treximet in generic now even though I have good insurance. Outrageous cost without insurance."

"Treximet is the only medicine that I have tried so far that will get rid of my headaches. I get 7-10 migraines a month, and they can last for days. I have found that with Treximet, I at least get a 12-24 hour break in my headache clusters. My muscles do feel funny (heavy and weak) after I take it, but that is the only side effect I have noticed. My only contention is that my insurance only covers 63 pills/180 days, and that I can go through more than that."

"I feel extremely nauseous and dizzy for about half an hour after taking these, but migraines make me feel nauseous anyways so it's a small price to pay for getting rid of the pain. While the nausea and hot flashes persist I like to think that the Treximet and the migraine are duking it out for superiority in my brain."

"Amazing - gets rid of a full blown migraine in 30 minutes. I call it my miracle pill. I do experience drowsiness and a bit of tightness around my shoulder area, but when it passes (within 30-40 minutes), the migraine is GONE."

"This was absolutely horrible. I had a migraine at work and luckily I work for a DR office. I took one pill since that's all that's in the sample. About 10 mins later I was sweating, face was blood red, very very nauseated, felt weird, I was dizzy. I ended up having to leave work and go lay down. Here we are 12 hours later and still a migraine. I am glad to hear it works for most but I'd never take it again."

"I love this medicine. It works! I too couldn't get it for awhile because of how expensive it was. I was actually notified by Blue Cross that if I did a three month trial of having my doctor write a script for the medications of Treximet separate (Imitrex pills and Naproxen pills) and see how those two separate medicines worked for my Migraines then if I still didn't get satisfactory results of these two medicines separately then they would pay for the Treximet pills. I did the trial for three months and I didn't get the instant results like the Treximet pills, also bad heart burn from the Naproxen. So I had my doctor report back to Blue Cross after the trial 3 month period that I wasn't getting the results I wanted and they started covering it."

"I took 1 Treximet pill in Jan. of 2012 and a 1/2 the following day. My migraines almost faded away for the last year. Throughout the 2012 year I still had small achey headaches, but nothing like before I put Treximet in my system. It is now a year later and I had my first migraine last week. I still have the same prescription from last year, so I don't have to buy anymore. I cut my caffeine to almost nothing and lots of natural sunlight. My headaches are fading out but I am going to take my yearly pill. I think this pill is worth every penny. Take this pill and find something to keep you busy."

"Expensive for 9 pills, but highly effective. Gets rid of a migraine in 1 hour, and doesn't make you drowsy. I would say there is an added heaviness to your brain and muscles (you feel a little slow), and you can't exercise right after you take it or it will give you palpitations. I haven't noticed any other side effects and compared with having a migraine, Treximet gets me back to normal in 3 hours (side effects are gone in 3 hours)."

"This is the best by far. The pain is gone in 45 minutes-1 hour usually. Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover it and it's about $30 a pill, so unless I can get a coupon or samples I have to take Imitrex, which is hit-or-miss for me and makes me feel funky for hours after. I haven't noticed any side effects from Treximet."

"I've been battling migraines for more then a decade. Been through everything from Aromatherapy to muscle relaxers to antidepressants and so far this has worked the best. Had a migraine last night and took a dose - in 20 minutes I could breathe again. Started to get another one several hours later and took another dose and it worked. Good drug that does what it says it will do."

"Treximet is my wonder drug. I’ve suffered from migraines my whole life and this is the only drug that offers fast relief and I can get back to my day without much issue. Side effects are minimal, but I do feel a little “jittery” after I take it. I use a mail order service to get Treximet and it is a huge cost saver!"

"On average, I get 4-6 migraines a month and this is by far the best migraine medication I have tried! Within 10-20 minutes, the migraine is completely gone after taking just 1 pill. I turned to a prescription strength after OTC medication, heat/cold packs, sleep, etc. stop working. So far, I haven't had a recurring migraine either, which usually happens to me after taking over the counter medicines."

"This medication is a lifesaver. It is the only medication that works for my migraines and I’ve tried tons, including Botox. Love this med. I have not experienced any side effects from this medication."

"Tried multiple meds for migraines throughout the years and this remains the best. Cost was too much and my Dr start prescribing Sumatriptan and OTC Naproxen. I take one of each which equates to about 1/2 a Treximet b/c a full dose gave me some uncomfortable side effects granted they were better than the migraines. Super cheap and works exactly like Treximet. I absolutely don’t understand why more Drs don’t do this, it’s the same ingredients and you can almost get the milligrams the same. Starting Eletriptan for the first time to see if I can get them under control a little more, also have gotten some relief with dry needling."

"This is the only medication that worked for my monthly migraine, my co-pay is very high & and sometimes I cut the pill in half. "
