For Migraine "I have been getting migraines for as long as I can remember. I finally went to the neurologist and have been taking Zomig for 2 years now, it is life-changing. It takes about an hour to kick in, and it really saves me when I am at work or special events. I finally feel like a migraine won’t hold me back from doing anything anymore with this medicine. I do have slight side effects like drowsiness and tingling in my skin when I am taking a shower or bath. Others have mentioned “stroke”-like symptoms, but this is very minimal and wears off as soon as the hour has passed and the drug kicks in. The side effects are far less worse than the migraine pain itself, so overall I would highly recommend at least trying it out if you suffer from migraines."

For Migraine "I've been taking Zomig for about ten years. I have chronic migraines and take around 6 to 8 a month. Works better than Imitrex for me. Side effects for me include tingling, a burning feeling when drinking hot liquid or showering, and a heavy feeling like pressure on my chest. But if I wake up with a migraine, I can take a pill and be at work (kinda duh, but there) by nine. Life-changing medication. I'm Canadian, so Zomig brand is 6 for $117 and generic is 6 for $42, and works just as well. Covered by insurance, so no cost to me either way."

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 "The side effects far outweighed the benefits. Before I ever noticed that a migraine had begun to subside, I was overwhelmed with the most awful tingling sensation. It literally felt like I had a full body rash and as though something was crawling on me, mixed with the tingly sensation when your foot falls asleep. I also got very weak and nauseous, and occasionally light-headed. It was dreadful. I finally decided it was easier to take my regular migraine meds and treat the actual migraine symptoms than to deal with the side effects of Zomig. The only reason I'm giving it a 2 is because it did slightly lessen the actual migraine."

For Migraine "Great for getting rid of migraine. Chest and throat feel a bit tight. Maybe some tingling effects and a bit euphoric. Night sweats, but maybe it's not the triptan?"

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."
