For Migraine "Had migraines since I was 13. Thirty years later, and they are worse. Have tried Maxalt, Treximet, butalbital, Excedrin Migraine, and Zomig, to name the ones I remember. Tried a sample of Sumavel DosePro this month. It is the only medication that stopped the pain 100%. Took 10 minutes to stop a bad migraine (8 on a 10 scale) and another 10 minutes to be back to functional. Was a bit disoriented and dizzy for that first 20 minutes. Relpax is my typical drug of choice nowadays, but it doesn't stop the bad ones. It only stops the ones that I catch right away. But this Sumavel is my new knight in shining armor. I don't know how expensive it is yet, but I'm headed back to the doctor this week to find out."

For Migraine "I have had migraines since I was 16, but they've been getting worse and worse, and I decided it was time to go to a doctor. I went in, and they gave me Sumavel DosePro to see if the medicine was effective. The initial 'injection' was awful. It hurt as bad as my migraines did, only in my thigh. Then I felt extremely dizzy, and my whole body was sore, and I had trouble breathing. They let me rest for about 20 minutes before sending me home with a sample of Treximet. I got home and took a nap for about 30 minutes. When I woke up, I felt better than I had in months. Finally, my head felt clear, and I had energy back! As much as the initial pain and discomfort was, it only lasted about an hour, in comparison to the 3-day migraines I was getting before."

For Migraine "Those injections for my headaches that the doctor gave me are amazing! I wake up with my headache a lot, so I can't even stop them before they start, and like this morning, they're usually paired with nausea, and I end up throwing up. This injection is awesome, though! Quick relief without having to make a trip to the ER. I usually get Toradol shots at the hospital that make the headache disappear within twenty minutes or so. The initial injection of the Sumavel hurt a little and caught me off guard, but it felt like a bee sting, it just hurt for a second, and then it was over. It bled a little bit, and about a minute after, my head started to feel heavy, and I felt a little dizzy. I went to sleep, woke up, and felt better."

For Migraine "I was nervous about the pain, and even though it's needle-free, I have a bit of a needle phobia, and the idea of any injection (even without a needle) was pretty rough for me to get over. After talking myself up for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to give myself the dose. It hurt a lot more than I was expecting and bled more than my neurologist and pharmacist said it would, so immediately after administering it, I was pretty apprehensive. I felt the side effects most people have reported (weakness, dizziness, heaviness, etc.), but I also had some nausea, and I was really tired. I felt near-immediate relief of about 50% of my migraine, and then took a power nap for about 45 minutes. When I woke up, I felt like a completely new person."

For Migraine "I have had migraines for quite some time, and my doctor tried the Sumavel today. I felt a little dizzy and heavy, but 15 minutes later, the migraine was completely gone. I immediately called my mom, who has suffered from migraines for 15 years, to tell her about it. Highly recommended!"

For Migraine "I have suffered from terrible migraines for the past 7 years and saw no relief in sight. Once I tried this needleless injection, it has changed my life for the better. I was nervous to give myself the injection, but I had my sister help me for moral support. The injection did sting and bleed just a little, but any migraine sufferer would not mind a little sting over the pain of a migraine. I did get lightheaded/dizzy for a few minutes, however, my migraine was gone within 5 minutes. Awesome medicine, it gave me my life back. I highly recommend it!"

For Cluster Headaches "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."
