For Migraine "Best migraine medicine I have ever used. The injection does hurt for a few seconds, but the pain is gone as fast as it came. Within a few minutes, I can feel the medicine rushing through my head. It feels very heavy and leaves me with a dizzy sensation. I usually need about an hour of sleep, and then the migraine is gone completely. I suffer about three migraines a week and only need a second dose about once a month. Pretty effective if you ask me! I have noticed that if I am feeling nauseous already, the medicine intensifies this. I found that taking a sublingual anti-nausea medicine a few minutes before the injection greatly reduces this side effect."

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 "Took the pain away in 15 min. The injection site bruises and bleeds. But still worth it. I felt the nausea associated with this medication for about the first 10 mins and extreme tiredness. Got it as a sample but will for sure fill the prescription. Most effective and fastest working migraine medicine so far."

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 suffered from migraines since I was 20 and am now 34. I have tried countless abortive medicines. Sumavel is the best one by far because it relieves the pain and nausea fast (usually within 10 mins for me). The injection is painful and leaves quite a welt, but far worth it to get relief. I do sometimes have issues with it not firing properly, but it could be just me pulling back at the last second when I anticipate the pain coming. I have wasted quite a few shots this way."
