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 "Imitrex has long been the "gold" standard for "migraine sufferers" " cluster headache suffers (a much rarer but more painful form of headache" and even those who suffer from just occasional really painful headaches but not frequent enough to be characterized as the "migraine" or "cluster" variety. After speaking to your physician about the safety of you using Imitrex, ask for Sumavel Dose from Zogenix. Pre-filled units that get the medication in your blood within 3 minutes. Amazing!"

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 of 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 feel better. "

"I used my first Sumavel Dosepro last night. I woke up about 11pm with a splitting migraine. My migraines last between 12 to 16 hours. I took the shot and within ten minutes the headache was gone! I don't mean dulled, I mean gone! This was a MIRACLE in my book. The injection was a little painful. I'm good with that! Finally, quick relief for my migraines which have plagued me for over 43 years!"

For Migraine "I have tried both the injection and tablet and it's has worked wonders. I have suffered with migraines since I was middle school (now 31 yrs old) and this is the first medicine that has given me any relief. The side effects only last for about 10 minutes so it's no problem. The only issue I have is after about 4 or 5 hours the migraine seem to start up right. Either way any relief is better than suffering through a migraine."

For Migraine "I've suffered from migraines since I was in the 3rd grade and I am now 23. I take Topamax every night to try and control my headaches but when I get a really bad one I use the Sumavel. HATE HATE HATE needles. So this works for me very good. There is pain with the injection but compared to the migraine, its nothing. A little bleeding at the site and always a bruise. I can instantly feel the medicine working in my body and within 5-7 minutes my migraine is gone. It's my miracle."

For Migraine "I have read many of the other reviews of Sumavel DosePro and agree that I have had some not fire when I go to inject myself. I have learned to be patient and continue to hold the applicator in place and continually push it into my skin until the injector fires. It sometimes takes a while, but it does eventually goes off. You just need to be patient. Yes, it's frustrating, but when you have a migraine, it's worth the wait. This has been a miracle drug for me and I will continue to use it as long as it is available to me!"

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 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"."

For Migraine "I can't believe all the great ratings for this. Maybe my skin is just extremely sensitive, but this was the most painful injection I've ever had in my entire life. I choose though over belly, and I actually screamed so loudly I'm sure I scared everyone in the reception area. I was not at all prepared for it to hurt as much as it did. The unexpected sharp pain only made my headache worse, and even paired with a shot of Demerol my headache did not clear."

For Migraine "17 year migrainer. Hands down this is the best overall migraine abortive. I have used for over 1 year, and 90% of the time it takes 85% of the migraine away. Biggest plus is no needle- the sensation feels like a rubber band snap. My other abortive is Treximet 85/500, and Topamax 100mg daily for preventative."

For Migraine "I've been suffering with migraine for 40 years. Tried everything on the market, including acupuncture. Used imitrex needle injections for many years. Learned about sumavel dosepro a few years ago. Loved this script. Very good success with it. However, in the past few months, I have had 12 injections not fire off. 15 or 20 minutes after my attempts, the cartridges fired off on my counter. Some never fired off and the medicine remained in the injector. I contacted Endo and they were helpful. Took the information and sent a postage paid envelope to return the defective injections to some lab in California. Endo forwarded info to my insurance company for replacements. Surprise, I'm still waiting for these replacements. Getting nowhere."

For Migraine "The medication itself works which is the only positive thing I can say. This "needleless" injection is so much more painful than any needle I've ever experienced. I'll be going back to real injections. My leg is still throbbing in pain 30 minutes later and it took over 5 minutes to stop the bleeding! I've never had pain or bleeding with an Imitrex shot through a hypodermic needle. Who would choose this?"

For Migraine "I love this medicine. The only caveat. The difficulty in filling the actual prescription. I have all the side effects you have all mentioned but as everyone said, well worth it. I'm a teacher and in my last two weeks of school. I need the insurance issues to clear up so I can pick up the rest of my medicines."

For Migraine "I have been a long time sufferer of migraines for 21 years on my life, and I am 40 so half of my life. I have been on many many daily meds and meds to take to help with the pain to heavy narcotics. This is the ONLY inject able that helps with my migraines. I try my normal thing of IB Profin and a benadryl and if that does not work after a few hours I use Sumavel DosePro and with in 10 minutes, 90 % of the time I am migraine free and ready to go though my day. This works for onsets to walking up with a full blown migraine."

For Migraine "I have suffered from migraines since I was 12. I am 53. Sumavil Dosepro is the only medication that works for me. Although I used to have frequent migraines, several per month, sometimes multiple per week, my migraines are less frequent now. My migraines do not respond well to other medications. Sumavel, taken appropriately, has changed my life. Migraines no longer dictate my schedule. However, this calendar year, my insurance stopped covering Sumavel and the company does not offer an assistance program. I am down to 4 shots. Not sure what I'll do after that."

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

For Migraine "I only used this one time, it did not work for me and made me feel worse. I hate that I have 4 unused ones that are going to go to waste."
