For Migraine "This has been a life changer. I get 2-3 bad migraines a month that last usually over a day or two, and it would make me completely nonfunctional. The great thing is that this medicine works fast and completely takes away the splitting pain. The side effects the first two times were sleepiness and a pretty sore throat and face, but since then they've been extremely mild and almost unnoticeable. Please try it, it's worth it."

For Migraine "Thought I was having a stroke as the migraine was the worst I’ve ever had, severe nausea, unbearable pain, and rapid heart rate, etc. Took a 2.5 mg tablet and was able to sleep within 25 mins, and when I woke up just over an hour later, I felt human again. Did have some shooting pains in chest after 20 mins, but as far as side effects go, it’s not the worst. Personally, it’s given me some quality of life back as my migraines are chronic."

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 was given this to try for menstrual migraines. (I only get my migraines the first day of, the last day of, and sometimes halfway between periods.) While it did get rid of my migraine, the pain got a lot worse before it went away. That was the one and only time I used this medication."

For Migraine "I have been having migraines since I was very young and now 60. I found I couldn't travel anywhere and couldn't go out in the sun. I've been taking Zomig for 4 years, and usually it just stops my migraine straight away. I must admit it has given me my life back. But yesterday, while I was driving a long distance, it came on quick, and Zomig didn't work as well. I think I took it too late. When I finally got home in agony, all the side effects started. I felt really ill, my throat closed, and pain shot around my neck and back. Hopefully, this won't happen again."

For Migraine "First reaction was all over tingling and pain. Then my skin felt like something was crawling all over, and I still have a headache. I have had similar reactions to Maxalt and Imitrex."
