"I'm been having migraines since the age of 16 so for 31 years now. Most of my migraines are menstrual but I also have them throughout the month also. Frova takes care of them 8 out of 10 times but it does take a while for the effect to kick in - well over an hour even two sometimes. It's the best medication so far. Have been of Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax, Fiorinal, etc. Frova works best. If only I could find something that works 100% of the time, I would be in heaven/normal. I always have to take Frova with 2 Advils though."

"I first started using Frova 4 1/2 years ago. It was wonderful and a great replacement for the Imitrex that no longer worked and had some side effects. Now I am having rebound headaches. I can guarantee I will have another migraine at almost exactly the 24 hour mark from the time I last took Frova. Have switched back to Imitrex and it is doing the job."

"I had an awful experience with Frova. I thought I was going to have a stroke or something. My whole chest was tight, anxiety was through the roof. After about 3 hours of this acute awfulness I felt exhausted. No headache but felt like I’d been through the wringer."

"I have had migraines with auras since puberty, and have tried every prescription migraine medication since then. I have had no success with any of the other classes of medications. I especially like Frova because I can take it when I get an aura, long before the migraine pain hits me."

"Frova takes away the throbbing pain associated with my menstrual migraines to allow me to get through the day without being bed-ridden. I don't have to dread my monthly visitor so much now. I agree with the comment on the pricing...way too expensive for just 9 tablets!"

"Frova has literally changed my life and I tell everyone I know who has migraines to try and it and recommend it when a doctor I'm seeing has never heard of it. I've been taking it for around 20 years now and it's still as effective as it was the first year I was taking it. Having a generic version has been lifesaver as well. Now I don't need to debate for an hour or more on if my migraine is bad enough to warrant how expensive the pills were. With the way lower price of the generic I take one right away and move on with my day. Prior to there being a generic, I did have to ask for an exception to my health insurance's drug formulary. My doctor listed all of the other medications I'd tried and why they didn't work and my insurance then covered it, albeit at a very high co-pay."

"Frova takes my migraines away every time I feel one coming on. It's the only medicine, out of trying several, that works."

"Very effective. As a matter of fact, it has been the only thing that has worked without having vicious side effects. It is however, so very expensive. "

"I really didn't like this medicine Frova. It made me feel like I was having a heart attack. I felt shaky and sweaty. My heart was pounding. I literally thought I would die. Never again!!"

"This is the best migraine medication I have found for me and my daughter. We have tried other medications, but they either have undesirable side effects or they don't relieve the migraine. "

"Everytime I took Frova I ended up with rebound migraines for 2-3 days afterwards. It simply wasn't worth it for me and I went back to Imitrex, which doesn't cause rebound migraines for me."
