For Migraine "The medication works, however, it makes me incredibly sleepy. It also makes my skin very sensitive, and my jaw will ache. It hurts to chew. It is worth it to get rid of the migraine, but it has some unpleasant side effects."

For Migraine "I have tried a countless number of remedies, and Zomig is the only thing that has worked for me. I do have a couple of side effects to mention: sensitive skin (pain to the touch), tingling in my extremities, achy joints and muscles, and excessive urination. Although these side effects don't happen every time I use it, Zomig has been a miracle for me. I have suffered migraines for 18 years. I can live with the side effects and only hope my migraines will go away with menopause like the doctors have told me."

For Migraine "I started with the 2.5 mg dose, and the neurologist increased it to 5 mg due to the severity of my migraines. This medicine makes me itch horribly. I drove my son nuts last night, making him check my bed every few minutes because I just knew there were bugs crawling on me. I haven't stopped scratching, I probably look like I have scabies or something. I need to find out if I can take Benadryl with this. Also, I'm on the fence about this medicine, as it doesn't always work for me."

For Migraine "I took Zomig because I got diagnosed with migraines during my second year of college. I took it during one of the lectures. My face got wicked itchy, so I had to take a Benadryl. The next time, I figured that I would just take the Benadryl with it so I was safe. I found out very quickly that I have an anaphylactic reaction and almost stopped breathing. While I understand that I'm just allergic to this medication, it really didn't get rid of the headache and just made things worse for me. Hopefully, it will work for others."
