For Migraine "I would just like to say it is very important to know what other medications you are taking with this medicine. It can have very bad side effects. I only took this medicine 2 times when I had a very bad interaction. It was before they made it known not to mix an antidepressant with it, and it took years to find out what really had happened other than a drug interaction. I was on Paxil at the time. I wound up going to the hospital for them to tell me that everything was fine, but it took about a week before I was feeling normal. My heartbeat was very rapid, I was delusional and uncoordinated. It felt like my insides were burning from the inside out, but yet I felt a constant chill. I am not saying not to take this drug, but be careful."

For Migraine "I haven't found any medication that helps with my migraines. Zomig caused me to experience a heat flash that lasted about an hour. Onset of neck stiffness not as bad as prior triptan medications used, but still limited activities. Stinging and increased sensitivity in the nose, mouth, and throat, similar to sinus pressure. Semi-painful. Glands sensitive to taste and make everything 'sour' reaction. Liquid felt in the nose and mouth for an hour or so. Bad aftertaste and dizziness. Had to lay down and take a nap, and side effects were still felt 24 hours later."

For Migraine "Acute migraine, sumatriptan, and Lyrica not helping after years of use. Zomig 5 mg spray given. Frequent urination, pressure on bladder constant (so unable to go out). Blood in urine? To question with doctor yet. Very heavy fatigue, just random fall asleep. Rapid heartbeat. Difficulty swallowing, hurt. Bit of sore throat further down throat. Short-lived chest pain traveled to chest bone left side when bedtime? Speech, foggy head, thinking worsened. Dizziness (was already experiencing). Still woke during night with bad head (so cannot use). But these are manageable because better than the migraine. Could it be possible to spray first dose and take second evening hour or two before bed instead of two hours after the initial? Terrible aftertaste."

For Migraine "The pain completely subsided after about an hour and a half, but I'm not sure the side effects were worth it... dizziness, drowsiness, unable to speak, numbness. Unsure if I would take again."

For Migraine "Unfortunately, I had a very bad reaction to Zomig, including shortness of breath and severe dizziness. This might not be the case for everyone."
