For Migraine "Mama said, 'If it's too good to be true, it probably is.' Except for Cambia. This is good stuff. I get headaches so often I don't notice unless it's a bad one. Relief comes within 10 to 15 minutes. Maybe even less on an empty stomach. Pain, throbbing, sensitivity, all of it. Best part: I can take it at work (elementary special needs teacher) with no impairment, drowsiness, or pesky side effects whatsoever. That's a BIG deal when working with kids. I keep two packets in my wallet at all times. PS: The taste, mint and black jellybeans, was hard for me to swallow at first. But it's no worse than NyQuil or Robitussin or any of the other horrid things we take to feel better. So what?"

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 "After trying many other migraine medications, like most, I found this to be the best with the least amount of side effects. It only takes between 20 minutes to 1 hour to start working. For me, the side effects are minimal. I don't get drowsy or feel weird, but certainly shouldn't operate any machinery or do any heavy thinking. Honestly, I feel pretty good, like I could do stuff, but found I have a slight disconnect to the brain. So it is safer to just kick your feet up while on this medication and rest for a few hours. The only downside for me is that to completely get rid of migraine and no reoccurrence, I need to take a second dosage. But to me it is worth it and really helps me rid those awful migraines. My last insurance covered this medication, and I only needed to pay $25, but now I may have to pay up to $600. Not sure yet on the cost. Trying to get the script filled now."

For Migraine "Cambia has taken my migraine away in as short as 15 min, the longest it took was 30 min. It doesn't make me tired or groggy or foggy-headed like a lot of migraine meds, so I can continue with my day."
