"I've suffered with tension headache and migraine for years, and nothing has ever really helped with the pain until now. As soon as I feel one coming, I take one tablet, and the pain is gone within 20 to 30 minutes. The only downside to using this medicine is the side effects I have: hot flushes and a heavy burning sensation in my legs, almost like growing pains. But I'd much rather have the side effects than the headache."

"I love this medicine. I suffer from eye pain, then a knot in my back muscle, then vision aura and light flashes, then here it comes, the vice feeling in the right side of my head. That gnaws at me all day. Unless I take sumatriptan within 15 minutes, I'm a new person. The only downfall is my doctor won't let me take more than 9 in a 2-week period. So I suffer in between, nothing else works. This medicine is a miracle worker."

"I suffer from very bad anxiety and stress, so as a result of this, I get regular tension headaches. Normal painkillers, paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc. don't work, so I visited my GP, who prescribed sumatriptan, and from day one of using these, the headaches went away within one hour. In my experience, they are the best medication for headaches. I'm lucky I don't have any side effects, as some of my friends do."

Sumatriptan "I love this medicine! I was on 50 mg tablets, then I was switched to 6 mg shots. Sure, side effects are still there, but they are less vicious, and after 2 hours, I am fine for an afternoon. NDPH is a little different."

"I've been having chronic headaches for the past month to the point where they get severe (not a migraine), so I asked my doctor for sumatriptan, and she gave me it. Little did I know it doesn't get rid of the headache nor relieve it. I'm on day 2 of it, and all it's done is make me dizzy, my chest feel heavy and horrible that I can't breathe and need to cough hard. My shoulders feel heavy and ache in my neck, and it's made my headache feel like a full-blown migraine, which I haven't felt for 4 years. Never having it again. I don't recommend this medication, it's made me feel really horrible."

"Haven't seen many people with my experience, so I appreciate Housewifeandmother's input below. Maybe my problem is also with generic sumatriptan. Maybe my dose at 100 mg is too high? But 3 out of 4 times after taking it, I became horribly nauseous and vomited the pill up within 10 minutes of taking it. I'm afraid to ever go near it again! Still looking for relief from my daily crippling headaches. Vicodin and hydrocodone seem to be the only things to relieve my pain. Started taking magnesium supplements as well, but no improvement yet. But FYI, I think my experience is uncommon."

Sumatriptan "I have headaches every day. I get them in the morning, and vomiting is the first thing. Imitrex injections clear them right up."
