For Migraine "I took Relpax the first time when I had a severe migraine about 6 months ago, and it did help to some degree without any serious side effects. I was prescribed it again today, and honestly, I would rather have just had the migraine and taken painkillers and tried to sleep it off. I will never take it again. I felt dizzy, nauseated, out of it, muscles were sore and uncoordinated, my legs and head felt tingly, and the roof of my mouth went numb. It was a horrible experience for me. Be wary before taking it, especially if you are on other medication that may enhance the effects of Relpax, especially SSRIs or narcotic pain relievers, all of which affect serotonin levels in the body. Not good at all, I almost took myself to the hospital. I'm glad it works for most people, though."

For Migraine "I'm glad it works for most people - it most definitely did not work for me. My doctor warned me about feeling tingly, but that wasn't all - I took it at night like I used to do with Imitrex. My migraine had progressed to the point of not being able to function, nausea - the usual. I woke up and felt groggy, probably shouldn't have gone into work and drive my kids to school, but the pain was done. It was a good 12 hours since I had taken the medication, so I figured I was OK. Boy, was I wrong. I could not function, my brain was dead, BUT the worst part was the uncontrollable sobbing. I was crying for no apparent reason for HOURS - the whole day! I had to leave work and have my mom pick up my kids and take care of me - nausea lasted all day too. NOPE!"

For Migraine "I took Relpax today for the second time, took it once before. It has given me no relief whatsoever, and I'm experiencing the same side effects as the first time I took it. Before you wonder why I would take it a second time, I thought perhaps I had just been in so much pain before I would give it another go. I have severe back pain, numbness and tingling in my fingers, and ringing in my ears. Also, the migraine seems to have gotten worse. Now my eye has so much pressure, it feels like it's bugging out of my face. I will NEVER take this drug again."
