Frova and Nausea: What Users Say

For Migraine "I have had chronic migraines since I was about 4 years old and have taken Zomig, Imitrex, Maxalt in the way of triptans and also been on beta-blockers, antidepressants, Tylenol #3 and #4, Midrin, Vicodin, etc. in the past for them. Zomig gave horrible side effects for a while, Maxalt was not recommended with Effexor XR, although that was unknown at the time of prescription. Imitrex gives me high blood pressure (which I have chronic low blood pressure), as well as shakes, fatigue, achiness all over, etc., and Tylenol #3's and #4's make me nauseous and dizzy. Although nothing lasts for longer than a few hours for me and everything seems to cause rebound migraines, Frova does the best at taking the pain away with lower side effects."

For Migraine "I have had a generally great reaction to Frova. After having bad side effects for years, it was nice to find a med that works 95% of the time and without major side effects. There is some light nausea if taken first thing in the morning before breakfast. The main problem is with insurance since it is still a relatively new med. If it's not covered, it will cost about $450."

For Migraine "I have had migraines since I have been a child. I am now 51. With my migraines, I have aura, face numb, arms and fingers tingling, and processing becomes slow. This is only my second Frova because I usually just take Tylenol because I don't like the other medication side effects. When I got up this morning, I had an awful headache with nausea. I had tried Tylenol this morning and a fourth of a Phenergan... No relief. Finally, I went and got the sample of Frova my doc gave me, and with much anxiety, I took it. It has been roughly forty minutes, headache easing and seems to be gone. Really no side effects yet! Great pill for me."

For Migraine "Typically get 8-10 migraines per year. Many hormonal, with severe nausea and vomiting. Medication is a lifesaver."
