Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I've had migraines for about 10 years. They run in the family, unfortunately. I've tried a lot of other stuff, and also Imitrex. Nothing helped at all with my bad headaches until I was given Zomig by my doctor. I've tried both the ZMT and the regular swallow tablets. To me, they are the miracle pill. Just this morning I had a severe migraine, one of the worst in a while. I was ready to go to the ER, it hurt so bad. I took a Zomig, and about 20 minutes later, I could feel the effects. I took a nap, and woke up without the migraine and was able to come to work today. I still get drowsy during the day, but it beats having the migraine ruin my life.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: Wow. I've just taken a dose (approximately 10 mins), and from not being able to function or see straight or even tolerate the slightest of noises or aural/visual stimulation, to now I can feel 'me' coming back already. and I am AT work! I can type coherently now! A brilliant medicine. I even waited as I need a prescription refill and this was my last dose so I tried keeping it at bay for 24-36 hours with ibuprofen and now its receding like a black cloud lifting. I'm from the US but live in the UK now and would only hope US insurance covers this. I do find migraines can often seem to be 'clusters' as they say, and if 1 in a few months doesn't do the trick 1 a day for a few days works just as well. Amazing, thanks AstraZeneca.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: This is the only medication that will work for my migraines. My family doctor does fear I am taking too much. A lot of things trigger my migraines but I will swear on this particular medication. I have tried everything. Unfortunately the cost is outrageous and the insurance companies do not like paying for it.
Zomig-ZMT (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: Fantastic. I use to suffer with nasty migranes that would leave me in bed, in too much pain to even cry. I use zomig rapi-melt 2.5mg. It takes between 20-40 mins to work, at any stage of the attack, and clears all symptoms.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I have suffered with migraines for over 40 years. I have even gone so far as having my ovaries removed to help with them. Although it helped I am still on daily medication and I still have approximately 6 migraines a month. I take zomig nasal spray when I get these annoyances. I classify them as annoyances because once I use the nasal spray the migraine will be 90-95% better in 15 minutes and completely gone in an hour. The only side effects I have had is my skin becomes very sensitive...almost as if I have bruises all over my body just under my skin, I am also tired. A 30-45 minute nap cures the tiredness.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I use the Zomig nasal spray. Out of the 4 or so migraine medicines I've tried (prescription), this is the only one that works for me. It doesn't take too long to kick in, I use it, then after 30 minutes the pain starts to ease some, and I go take a nap, when I wake up, it's gone.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: Unfortunately after taking my first dose of Zomig, I had an allergic reaction to it. Upper lip felt like I was stung by a bee and started to swell up on one side. This stayed in the same location for about 45 minutes. After that, my left cheek started to swell and get numb along with my nose. Off to the ER I had to go. While it DID kick the migraine, I had an unfortunate reaction to it.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I was given this to try for menstrual migraines. (I only get my migraines the first day of, the last day of, and sometimes halfway between periods.) While it did get rid of my migraine, the pain got A LOT worse before it went away. That was the one and only time I used this medication.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I think Zomig is a wonder drug. My daughter suffers from migraines at times and she uses it also. I have no side effects of any kind. It is the only thing that has worked for me.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I had migraines for years before I finally was sent to a neurologist. He gave me a samples of many of the prescription migraine medications that are out there now and many of them, including Imitrex, just did not work or made me really fatigued. Zomig worked really fast and I have no side effects at all. If I can take it as soon as I can feel the headache coming on, it is gone before I really realize it.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I have tried a countless number of remedies and Zomig is the only thing that has worked for me. I do have a couple of side effects to mention. Sensitive skin (pain to the touch), tingling in my extremities achey joints and muscles and excessive urination. Although these side effects don't happen everytime I use it. Zomig has been a miracle for me, I have suffered migraines for 18 years. I can live with the side effects and only hope my migraines will go away with menopause like the doctors have told me.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: This has helped me in ways no other medicine has. It is the best by far in my book. It takes about 30 minutes to take effect but completely takes my migraine away and I have my control of my life.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: Unfortunately, I had a very bad reaction to Zomig, including shortness of breath and severe dizziness. This might not be the case for everyone.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I would just like to say, it is very important to know what other medications you are taking with this medicine. It can have very bad side effects. I only took this medicine 2 times when I had a very bad interaction. It was before they made it known not to mix an antidepressant with it and it took years to find out what really had happened other than a drug interaction. I was on Paxil at the time, I wound up going to the hospital for them to tell me that everything was fine, but it took about a week before I was feeling normal. My heartbeat was very rapid, I was delusional and uncoordinated. It felt like my inside were burning from the inside out, but yet I felt a constant chill. I am not saying not to take this drug, but be careful.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I have been taking Zomjg for Migraine for the past 10 years, I used to suffer for 2 to 3 days with migraine. I was prescribed a lot of different medications, with no success. The first time I took Zomig, it took my migraine away within 30 to 45 minutes. It has just about always taken all my headaches away from then on. Usually one 2.5 dose tablet takes it away. On occasion, I have to take a second dose. It has improved my quality of life greatly. I rarely have side effects also.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I have suffered with migraine for over 30 years and am now on a prevention medication morning and evening called Topamax. It really seems to help but when a migraine strikes, which they still do, I find Zomig nasal sprays a total fantastic find. Nothing has ever worked so fast or as well.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: The first drug I found to really rid an on coming migraine with no side effects. Problem now is that AARP Medicare Advantage and Aetna Advantage does not cover it.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: I was prescribed Zomig by my Neurologist, I have severe headaches. After taking it, it would kick-in in about 30 minutes and the pain would go away. However, after taking sumatriptan instead of this, it wouldn't work as fast as it did before and I had to wait for hours before it would be completely gone. It works great though!
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: Zomig works wonders for me for migraines. The only side effect I typically have is hearing my pulse in my right ear. Annoying (and weird), but not a deal-breaker. I take a high dose of Effexor and have no interactions that I know of. However, I once took it with Ambien and that was a big mistake as even the next day I felt off-balanced and weak. I also try not to take it within 4 hours of Tylenol for similar reasons. It's nice to have a medicine that works so well, so consistently.
Zomig (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: First reaction was all over tingling and pain. Then my skin felt like something was crawling all over and I still have a headache. I have had similar reactions to Maxalt and Imitrex.
zolmitriptan for Migraine: Fantastic. I use to suffer with nasty migranes that would leave me in bed, in too much pain to even cry. I use zomig rapi-melt 2.5mg. It takes between 20-40 mins to work, at any stage of the attack, and clears all symptoms.
I have suffered from migraines since I was a young girl. The migraines were absolutely debilitating to me. Sick in bed, nauseated and vomiting all day until I usually collapsed from exhaustion. Zomig has been a miracle drug for me. Within an hour, the headache is typically gone. Occasionally I have to take a second. I occasionally feel sleepy and experience a little dry mouth but otherwise have had no side effects. It is wonderful to have a remedy to restore my ability to function through the day versus trying to push through work totally debilitated by a migraine.
Zomig-ZMT (zolmitriptan) for Migraine: As far as I know, Zomig is a swallowed tablet and Zomig-ZMT is the orally disintegrating tablet, with a zingy orange flavor. I didn't notice much difference but I imagine the ZMT works faster as it disperses in the mouth. With this abortive, as with many, it works best if you take it 'during onset of migraine'. This is an issue for me because sometimes at onset I'm not sure if it will actually develop into a migraine, so I don't take it and then I am in agony two hours later, even with two doses, which are not/hardly effective since I've missed onset.
