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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
