For Migraine "This is the only medication that has worked for me. I have taken it on three occasions, and it has gotten rid of my headache within 40 minutes. It's amazing. The only side effect I've had is a slight feeling of heartburn."

For Migraine "I am a chronic migraine sufferer, and I didn't really notice any difference in using this than just the sumatriptan injection, though the injection worked a little faster. My migraine would disappear in about 30 minutes, but I would get a strange side effect: a tight, tense, mildly achy feeling in my neck for about 2 hours following administration. Like I said, my migraine was gone, but the discomfort in my neck was just as disruptive and annoying."

For Migraine "Best medicine in the world! It not only relieves your migraines but also neck pain from tension. You can feel it working. At first, you will experience a lot of pain, and you will sweat, and the next thing you know, you wake up pain-free! I strongly recommend this drug to anyone. Yes, it's really expensive if you don't have insurance, but some pharmacies have special programs where you only pay 20 bucks versus $1,200.00."

For Migraine "This is my wonder drug for migraines ONLY if you can catch it early. I have tried a few different migraine medicines: Maxalt, Imitrex, Treximet, Fiortal, Indocin, Vicodin, and Percocet. I have suffered from migraines for 4 years, however, I am able to recognize the signs before an attack. Treximet is expensive (9 pills for $220ish), but if you have a health care plan that covers it, it works wonders. Once again, if you do not take this medicine as soon as you feel the migraine coming on, it will do nothing. For me, it took some getting used to. There are some side effects, but the relief outweighed those... for me."

For Migraine "I suffer from chronic migraines, and I have seen multiple neurologists and have tried numerous medications. Treximet was the first that actually got rid of my migraines. Within half an hour, my migraine is gone. Treximet is expensive, but for me, it is well worth it."

For Migraine "I have been fighting migraines for 50 years. I asked my doctor for this, and it stops my headaches within 15 to 20 minutes. The bad thing is that my insurance will not cover this drug. They said it costs $180.00 for 9 pills."

For Migraine "I have had severe migraines for years and tried several medications, but none work like Treximet, especially without the side effects. I have wanted to stab myself in the eyes more times than I'd like to admit, but I now take Treximet and a nap and wake up without a headache at all. Treximet is very expensive, but it works."

For Migraine "I have inflamed occipital nerves (both sides). The pain starts in the back of my head, then radiates up and ends at my eyebrow. Nothing helps the pain - even a double dose of Lortab. I had a nerve block, but that didn't help at all! My neurologist suggested I try this, and it works! I would have given it a 10, but the side effects last up to 3 hours (weakness in my arms, slight dizziness, and I just want to sleep), which makes it difficult to work. I am so glad he suggested this! It is expensive, but he gives me a freebie when I come in, and there is a coupon you can find online (it is in the package). The other reason I gave a 9 is that it is really hard to open the package."

For Migraine "This medication will help with my migraine headache for the day, but I wake up and still have a terrible headache once the medication subsides. I seem to get terrible rebound headaches and have to repeatedly take this medication, hoping each day that I will be free of the migraine. I am now on day number four. I was told it was supposed to be better than Imitrex because it would not cause rebound headaches, but it doesn't work for me."

For Migraine "I have dealt with horrible migraines pretty much on a daily basis for almost 14 years now. My neurologist says I have some of the worst he's ever seen in all the years he's been in practice. I receive Botox treatments every 3 months, and the only medicine that really alleviates the pain after trying dozens is Norco. Insurance wants to charge $32.00 per pill, which I cannot afford, so luckily I get a few samples each month. With the exception of a couple of times, Treximet always seems to help within about a half hour or so. I would recommend Treximet to anybody who has true migraine issues."

For Migraine "Been using Treximet since 2008. Was upgraded from Relpax 40 mg. I get 6-8 migraines per month. Treximet works faster than Imitrex and Relpax. For me, Treximet is active within 30-40 minutes or 2 hours if the migraine is very strong. Imitrex took 4-6 hours, Relpax took 2-3 hours. Only side effect is drowsiness. Very happy with results but prefer if it was not so expensive."

For Migraine "I've experienced debilitating migraines since I underwent a major back surgery in 2008, and the migraines would last 2-3 days with no relief from oxytocin, Roxicodone 30mg, morphine sulfate 100mg, neck adjustments by a chiropractor, heat and cold press. Nothing worked! I tried all sorts of other migraine medications to no benefit. After getting a sample from one of my doctors, the Treximet knocked out the migraine in 30-45 minutes! Just need to drink lots of liquids when taking to keep from having an upset stomach. If there is a better migraine medication, then God kept it for himself!"

For Migraine "I have had severe, life-altering migraines for 30 years, more severe since I had children. Tried every preventive-Lyrica, anti-convulsants, anti-depressants. Had so many side effects from the medicines that I had given up hope. Moved from a metropolitan area-Phoenix, to a rural town near Maryland. Local neurologist gave me Inderal and Treximet. The Treximet is pure magic! No side effects, sometimes I need 2, but I can LIVE a normal life now!"

For Migraine "Great medicine. Stops my migraines in their tracks! The only side effect that really bothers me is 'mild pressure or heavy feeling in any part of your body.' My whole body feels so heavy, like it takes way too much effort to move. After taking it, I have to lie down for a while. Still, it's worth it for the effectiveness."

For Migraine "I am from Pakistan, and here this medicine is sold under the name of Synflex-M. This medicine is a lifesaver for me. I tried almost everything, every pain reliever, diclofenac sodium injections, but nothing worked. This medicine not only relieved my migraine, it also helped with my postdrome. It is super cheap here compared to the US, only $0.86 for a tablet. Would definitely recommend this medicine!"

For Migraine "I would occasionally get migraines (started at age 16), now I am 28. After a car accident two years ago, I get them much more frequently. I tried Treximet after being desperate for something on day three of the worst migraine of my life. Treximet KILLED my migraine within 15 mins. It made me sleepy and made my limbs feel very heavy, but it got rid of the migraine. I only take Treximet every other month, and, unlike some, I have to wait to take it until my migraine is full blown, or else it makes me feel worse."

For Migraine "I take one pill as soon as my aura begins. Treximet relieves the feeling of nausea, and light and smell sensitivity, but it does not relieve the pain from the headache completely. I still have a slight headache for about 4 hours. I guess I should be thankful because the pain is not nearly as bad, but it's still there."

For Migraine "My doctor just prescribed me Treximet after my other medication wasn't working. I took it for the first time over the weekend. My head felt like it was on fire. I see flushing is a side effect, but this was horrible. I couldn't touch my head, I could feel my hair follicles, my head was so sensitive. The heat eventually made its way to my neck and shoulders. I was so uncomfortable until I fell asleep. I did wake up with my migraine gone, so that was a plus, but I would have preferred not to have dealt with the head-on-fire feeling, it was worse than my migraine. I'm talking with my doctor about it, maybe it's something that goes away, or maybe I'm allergic. Pro: it worked. Con: painful side effect."

For Migraine "I am 25 years old, and up to about 4 months ago, I never had problems with headaches of any kind. I finally went to the doctor after daily horrible headaches. She put me on Treximet. I have taken it once, and my headaches have resolved, knock on wood! I did have a strange tightness in my neck, but about an hour or so after taking the medicine, that had gone away along with my headache. I still have to have an MRI done to be sure that there isn't anything else going on. So far, this has helped me resume my normal life."

For Migraine "I give Treximet a 10 rating based on my 30-plus years of suffering from migraines. For me, it stopped the migraine in its tracks without the nausea I experienced from the Imitrex injection or nasal application. It also kept me from experiencing the 24-48 hour 'hangover' that I would experience after the acute phase of the migraine had passed. An excellent drug!"

For Migraine "Very good migraine medicine. I've taken it on several different migraine attacks, and it works every time. I do get the side effect of the 'warm/tingling sensation' that scared me the first time I took it, but I immediately called my doctor and that is a mild side effect of the drug. Also, I tend to get a heavy sensation around the neck area and a tingly sensation in the nose, but they go away after an hour or two, and the migraine is completely GONE. Miracle drug for sure! Ask your doctor or neurologist about Treximet!"

For Migraine "I've had migraines since I was 15. So bad that I would vomit and break blood vessels in my eyes. After spending countless days in bed, I finally decided to do something about it. My doctor gave me a sample of Treximet, and within a week, a migraine hit. I took the pill, and within one hour it was GONE. NO side effects, and I could carry on with my day. WELL worth the price. Truly a miracle drug."

For Migraine "For me, this is truly a wonder drug. Knocks out migraine in about half an hour. Well worth the money, especially when my migraines have lasted for many days in the past. The only side effect is this strange loopiness that comes after about an hour, but it ends an hour or so later. And, compared to the headache, short-term loopiness is certainly not a bad thing."

For Migraine "Great medicine. The only bad thing is it is expensive! $225 for 9 pills. Well worth it though. I take it when I feel a migraine start, and it's gone in about 20 minutes. The only side effect I had was really heavy extremities for about an hour. I could deal with that though, compared to the migraine."

For Migraine "I started getting really bad headaches at a young age, but never thought it was anything serious until I became pregnant and they became worse. I tried everything from Excedrin migraine to Aleve. About 9 months ago, my doctor gave me a sample of Treximet, and I had my doubts, but it actually worked. The only side effect that I had was a burning feeling in my nose, but the pain was gone, and I could deal with that."
