Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "With Treximet I found relief was within an hour and if I had a bad migraine and took a second one after one hour it was gone. In the past, my severe Migraines could last on and off for 3-5 days at its worst. Side effect is heartburn. I want to thank my Pharmacist for telling me about the drug. I had to ask my doctor about it and then she gave me a sample. I only wish the pill wasn't so big."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I have suffered from migraines for over 30 years and tried so many different medicines. Treximet is the ONLY medicine I have found that I can trust to actually get rid of my headache. It is completely gone within 2 hours - but I can feel it going away within 30 minutes. I have my life back because I know it works. Took some getting used to - it made my neck feel warm and very tired, but the trade-off of being free from a debilitating headache is so worth it. I find that if I keep busy after it starts working I don't get as tired as if I just sit down with it (then I will want to sleep and this lasts for several hours.) Downside? Getting 9 in a prescription is irritating - makes me have to decide if my headache is "Treximet-worthy.""

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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 your will experience a lot of pain and you will sweat and next thing you know you wake up pain free!!! I strongly recommend this drug to anyone. Yes its really expensive if you don't have insurance bit some pharmacy's has special programs where you only pay 20 bucks verses $1,200.00."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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. "

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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!"

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "Thank goodness for this medicine. Migraines are new to me. I tried Relpax before this one and it did very little for me, even after taking two doses. I took this with my most recent headache and it worked like a miracle. I didn't realize how bad I felt until I took this and started to feel better."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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 times treximet always seems to help with in about a half hour or so. I would recommend treximet to anybody who has true migraine issues."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "Been using treximet since 2008. Was upgrade from relpax 40mg. I get 6-8 migraines per month. Treximet works faster than imitrex and relpax. For me, treximet is active within 30-40 min 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "My doctor just prescribed me Treximet after my other medication wasnt 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 couldnt 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 its something that goes away, or maybe I'm allergic. Pro: it worked Con: Painful side effect."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I am from Pakistan and here this medicine is sold under the name of synflex-M. This medicine is life saver 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 as compare to US only $0.86 for a tablet. Would definitely recommend this medicine!"

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I get migraines- about 20 migraines a year and maybe 7 more that feel deadly: blurry vision, severe body tension, diarrhea, vomiting, feeling like I'm paralyzed, sobbing, etc. I've had them for over 15 years. I've been on many medicines with no improvement. My father gets migraines too and when he had some success with Treximet, I tried it. Now, rather than hours of pain that occasionally brought suicidal thoughts, I have pain for 30 minutes and then suddenly it's gone. I sit up against a wall, completely still for another 30 minutes before I feel confident that it's gone. There's no migraine hangover and I'm fine to go to work again the next day. My only side effect has been dry mouth. Thank you Treximet."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) 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 4hrs. I guess I should be thankful because the pain is not nearly as bad, but it%u2019s still there."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I give Treximet a 10 rating based on my 30 plus years of suffering from migraine. For me, it stopped the migraine in it's 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!"

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I have suffered from severe migraines since I was about 13 years old and have tried every over the counter and prescribed medicine under the sun. NOTHING has worked like Treximet! This is truly a miracle. Within 30 minutes of taking it my headache was completely gone and no rebound headache! The only side effect I had was that I was very tired for about 5-6 hours after that. It is very expensive but it is so worth the money."

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I typically take a DHE injection to treat my migraines...the downside is that it takes a couple of hours to rid me of the pain and the symptoms during this cycle are horrible, nausea, nasal congestion, a very drugged, but not sleepy feeling. Treximet is great, it works within 30-minutes to an hour. Does not require sleep or other maintenance. Downside for me is that within 24 hours, the migraine is back! "

Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) for Migraine "I've had migranes 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 migrane 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 "I suffer from daily, chronic migraines. Sometimes lasts more than a day. My doctor prescribed me Naproxen, and it has benefited me so much. I had a headache for a little over 2 days. I took the pill and within 30 min, my migraine is gone. It has really helped me and I couldn't be happier."
