For Migraine "I don’t know what type of sadist thought that aniseed and menthol were the flavor that people suffering from a migraine want to taste. I had one sip of this and had to run to the toilet to vomit because it was so awful. The only time I was able to stomach it was when I was so stuffed up I had absolutely no taste and had run out of all my other options. It did help bring down the pain of my migraine, but it left me completely feeling out of it and dizzy. I prefer taking Maxalt (which I find just as effective) as I can actually keep it down."

For Migraine "Cambia works perfectly for me. I get zero side effects from it, so I take it at the first sign of aura or pain because there's no side effect trade-off. But even when I haven't been able to take it at onset, it still works for me. If taken hours in, it sometimes doesn't remove all pain, but I take another, and that one always takes the rest of the pain away. But since I don't get dizzy or drowsy, I keep it with me at all times and take it wherever I am. It's given me my life back. Sometimes my sensitivity to light and sound stays a bit. This isn't a side effect of the med, I think it's just that I still have a migraine in the background, with no pain. Maybe it's just post-migraine fog though, as it doesn't present right away. It's hours after. Tip: works best on an empty stomach. Wait to take it for 15-30 minutes if the stomach is full. Don't drink or eat anything for another 30 minutes while it's absorbing into your stomach lining."

For Migraine "Although no medication completely rids my migraines (I get stroke-like symptoms with my migraines) aura with numbness on the right or left side - depending on the side of pain, dizziness, and off balance. It's absolutely horrible! But when I take Cambia right away, it relieves the killer pain! I still get my warning signs, but the migraine passes much more quickly with this medication! It does tend to make me feel a little weird - my nerves feel oversensitive. But I got a migraine around 8 a.m. today and took Cambia! And on my way to work at 12:30 p.m.! Miracle!"

For Migraine "Woke up with a migraine with an aura this morning. I took Cambia straight away with breakfast. It worked about halfway, but now I’m feeling dizzy and tired with lingering head pain. I use heavy equipment for work and will have to take the day off, unfortunately."

For Migraine "Have suffered from migraines for the past 10 years. I’m always interested to try new medications. Personally, I found Cambia to be one of the worst. I found little to no relief. The taste is horrid, especially when your taste buds are heightened and extra sensitive. I experienced the worst side effects, which included diarrhea, dizziness, anxiety, and nausea for days."

For Migraine "This medication did not work at all on relieving my migraine pain. The side effects were horrific! I experienced severe nausea, chest tightness, anxiety, numbness down my arm, and dizziness."
