"I have had chronic migraines and cluster headaches for years. This month, I was having multiple auras a day and was bedridden for the entire month. I was at my wit's end, thinking about ending my life because I can't live like this anymore. I also have fibromyalgia and multiple other diagnoses, and these migraines are just too much on top of everything else. Very low quality of life until I started this med. I experience about 1-2 hours of side effects; they improve if I eat and take an anti-nausea pill. Once that time is up, I'll still feel a little achy and puffy throat and slight remaining nausea. These side effects are a cakewalk when compared to the daily suffering and excruciating migraines. Highly recommend; just be prepared for intense initial side effects, stay calm, eat a piece of toast, and ride it out. I feel hope for the first time in a long time and am grateful to be able to get on with my life!"

"I have suffered with 'cluster headaches' for over 30 years. Finally, I went to a neurologist who diagnosed me with cluster headaches and migraine headaches 10 years ago. Cluster headaches would come, in my case, in March and October. Whenever I would fall asleep at night, I would awaken with a horrible cluster headache. This would happen for about 3-4 weeks. Zomig mist worked every time. Unfortunately, since August 2010, the pattern has changed. Now, every time I lay down or I could be sitting, BAM, I feel the symptoms creeping up on me. Yes, the Zomig mist works like a charm, and I have tried the dissolving tablets too, the mist works faster. Why so expensive??? Big problems with insurance coverage regarding quantity too. Help me, Astra Zeneca."

"I have been using the nasal spray for 2 years now. When I first began getting migraines, I literally had to stop everything I was doing and go to bed. This brought on anxiety quite significantly, I'd go out and worry constantly that if I got a migraine, I wasn't close enough to home and that would ultimately ruin the rest of my day. They impacted my relationship, work, and also my social life because I never wanted to do anything in fear of getting a migraine and needing to be close to my bed and a dark and quiet room. My migraines are gone within 30 minutes with the nasal spray, and it really has changed my life. I dread the day my body becomes too used to it and it loses its effectiveness. I can honestly say I've had no adverse side effects from the medication that I can notice."
