For Headache "I had a migraine/headache for two weeks. I took everything over the counter, nothing helped. Then I tried hydrocodone, it didn't help at all. Then I tried my daughter's Midrin, and it did take the edge off, turning it into just a headache, but it didn't take it away. I went to my doctor and was given an injection, Imitrex, and given prednisone, neither did anything. I went back to the doctor and was given Esgic that I almost didn't bother to get filled, but the headache was still too much to deal with. So after I took 1 pill, my headache went away. I could not believe it worked when nothing else helped. I also had blood work and a CT scan, both that came back negative, so I have continued to take Esgic when required whenever I get a really bad headache or migraine."

For Headache "I love Esgic for headaches. When I feel one coming on, I can take one pill and it will wipe it out before it gets full-blown. I only take it when necessary. A prescription of 30 will last me usually a year, sometimes less, sometimes more. I hate the fact that they are going to take it off the market!"

For Headache "My experience with Esgic. WOW! I had a migraine in the hospital. The doctor that was seeing me gave me Esgic, and bam, my migraine was gone. Even till this day, it’s been since June of 2020. Still take them today. My headache was so bad, till my forehead would turn red. Thanks for Esgic."

For Headache "This medicine was actually given to me by a close friend, who also has repeated headaches that turn into migraines. It was amazing. I took 2 when I had a horrible, pounding headache. Within an hour, the headache was reduced to mild and lifted altogether after about 3 hours. I couldn't believe it. I called my doctor the very next day and asked her to prescribe it for me."

For Headache "I always suffer from migraine headaches where the light hurts my eyes and noise hurts my ears, not to mention starting to throw up. I didn't know what was going on when it got that bad. Last year I went to three different doctors, and they didn't know either until I went to the ER and was given this magical pill. It's the only thing that stops me from going crazy from suffering from pain, and the best part is I only pay $1.00 with my insurance, but I think it's between $50 and $70 if paying with cash."

For Headache "I have used Esgic for 15 years, and it really works for me. I was relieved to hear of Fioricet when I was just told that Esgic is now off the market! It is the only thing that cuts a bad migraine and also is a lifesaver for recent onset TMJ. Sometimes, the tried-and-true old standbys work the best!"

For Headache "Amazing. My doctor prescribed this with Phenergan to help with the nausea. Usually, just half of each pill will stop an oncoming migraine in its tracks. If it's bad, I take the other half a little later. It's cheap and effective, and the only side effect I've noticed, drowsiness, is pretty benign as side effects go, especially compared to most migraine medicines. Can't ask for better than that."

For Headache "One Esgic tablet gets rid of my migraine. I highly recommend it as it doesn't have any other effects on me such as feeling drowsy or hyper. Also, the written side effects seem to be minimal. I take it when I can't function and am unable to tolerate bright lights or noise. It does not impair my ability to drive."
