For Migraine "I took this at bedtime but should have taken it much earlier to watch for side effects. I woke up about 1.5 hours to the literal feeling of my life actually slipping away. I could only see in speckled black and white, had numbness/tingling, heart palpitations, and various sounds/visual disturbances in my head. I was very dizzy and nauseated. I was so scared to go back to sleep for fear I would not wake up, but was too sleepy and disoriented to stay awake. My pulse was weak and thready and quite irregular when I could feel it at all. I was able to get my stethoscope (I’m an NP) and listen to my heartbeat to help calm myself that it was still beating-but it never crossed my irrational thoughts that I would never hear it NOT beat-hence it would be curtains for me! It was the scariest, most horrific experience of my life. I had my Botox for migraines earlier that day and had taken Nurtec the day prior. This morning, I still feel weak and nauseated and my headache is back full force."

For Migraine "I have suffered with chronic, painful migraine/cluster headaches since I was nine years old and still suffer with them now, at the age of 64. I have tried aspirins forever, Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen, coming, Frova, Imitrex, and now this med. Most of the triptans cause dizziness, drowsiness, and with Zomig, after twelve years on that drug, I developed a specific allergy to it including hives, rapid heartbeat, and trouble swallowing. Besides being extremely expensive, as all the triptans are, even with insurance. So I tried this as an alternative to yet another triptan. I took a 100 mg. About 20 minutes later, I got extremely dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous. So badly that I almost fell over. Not worth that experience to ever use it again. Ever! Botox not an option. Why would I put a poison into my body, and I already am allergic to so many other drugs? Some days, when it happens, I just learn to live with the pain. Quick fixes are not!!!"

For Migraine "Well, the headache part did go away. But I ended up with the most extreme dizziness and double vision I have ever experienced from a migraine, and the additional confusion and nausea made it effectively pointless for me to have even taken Reyvow because the end result was still me having to leave work early to go home, darken the room, and sleep until I felt well again. And the postdrome is pretty severe too...feels like the morning after doing tequila shots."
