For Migraine "It's quick acting, but painful, and it made me bruise and bleed a bit. It makes me feel nauseated, and I vomited once, a few minutes after use. It also made me feel sleepy, like my other migraine pills. This just acts quicker and makes you drowsy fast."

For Migraine "If you are a migraine sufferer, this is a miracle drug! Yes, the 'injection' is sort of painful (for like 10 seconds), and I only experienced a little soreness in the spot afterwards. But within 15 minutes of the injection, my debilitating migraine with nausea and blurred vision was gone! I was able to head to work and put in a full 10 hours as normal! No nausea, no follow-up dosage, no pills, just a little sleepiness. I'm a 35-year-old female that suffers from 1-4 migraines with vomiting, light sensitivity, and blurred vision per month. Yes, they are expensive, but I am lucky enough to have great insurance coverage through my employer and only pay $15 per month for 6 of these."

For Migraine "I tried Sumavel DosePro for the first time approximately 3 months ago. It does take away about 80-90% of the headache pain, but I am left with a 'sinus' feeling headache that really hurts when I cough, sneeze, or bend over, which is typical for me for a day after a migraine. The injection sting feels a little like being snapped by a rubber band. It didn't feel extremely painful to me. I do get a fairly intense burning sensation mostly along my scalp, but to a lesser degree across the surface of my skin as well. My arms feel very heavy, and it was frightening at first. My biggest problem is that I get intensely sleepy, and for about 20 minutes, I feel like I'm operating in 'slow motion'."
