"Followed the instructions. Two (2) of the shots were defective (out of 6). One was harmless and did not fire, which only cost me $100 for the non-performing shot. The other did nothing until it fired accidentally into my eye. Seeking regulatory and legal help."

"These Sumavel shots are amazing. Whenever I wake up with a cluster headache, I take one of these and within 5 minutes, the headache is completely gone. The injection site swells and is sore for a while, but I'll take that over the headache any day. My neck and shoulder on the side of the cluster pain end up feeling exhausted after I take it, like I've just been working out, but since the headaches typically wake me up, feeling exhausted helps me get back to sleep pretty quickly. My insurance only covered so many shots, so the last box of 6 shots was out of pocket at $100 a piece."

"I just use the Sumavel, it stings in the application area for 2-5 minutes, but my headache was gone in about 5 minutes. I felt a little dizzy afterwards. Highly recommended and well worth it."

"It worked to abort a cluster headache. Just as effective, but not any more so than the needle version of Imitrex/sumatriptan. The injection stung quite a bit and left a fairly nasty welt similar to a wasp sting, and it bled a little bit, but it worked as advertised."
