This is the only medication that has ever worked for my migraines since day one! My only real side effect is a little drowsiness and thats it...I finally found relief!!
I have tried other drugs. This one works ...now my drug plan doesn't cover it.
I'm a male who has had migraines for 34 years now. I was diagnosed at 14 and am 48 now. At this point, I'm lucky enough to only have a migraine about once every few months. My doctor prescribed Imitrex about two years ago and I hate it. I took Midrin for years until it was virtually impossible to find. With Midrin, I would take it whenever I thought I was getting one. With Imitrex, I have to be absolutely sure because the side effects of nausea and pop rocks feeling in my head is just horrible. And, while it could be that my migraines have changed, it seems that, while not as bad, they last for days now if I take the Imitrex. It's like I'm just suppressing it. Sometimes I have to really question if I want to endure the Imitrex or just go through 5-6 hours of horrible pain and vomiting instead. Everyone I know with migraines has sworn off Imitrex saying it made them feel worse and I'll be asking my doctor for a different drug on my next visit. I'm on day three of a migraine currently. I took the Imitrex on the first day but, again, feel it's just prolonging it at this point.

This has been a life saver for me! Iâ??ve had migraines for as long as I can remember! They last anywhere for 4-7 days. I no longer have to suffer at work, no light sensitivity, no nausea, best of all no pain. Yes there are some side effects, but nothing horrendous. I take a generic (sumatriptan) It is a true life changer for me!

I have had migraine headaches regularly for many years. I used to take other things and excedrin migraine. Excedrin is no longer working so I was given Imitrex 100mg today. Within 30 minutes I had severe neck and shoulder pain, exhausted, dizzy, tingling in my limbs that went to not feeling anything in my body. I had chest pressure and my headache was still there. I made my self throw up to try and get any medicine out of my body, took a shower, drank lots of water and within 2 hours I was feeling a little better. Still have headache and some neck pressure. I will never take this medicine again.

It's expensive but my gosh it works! I've had migraines that even sleep wouldn't cure. They have kept me awake all night long. Imixrex has cured them within 15 min! The only downside is it must be taken early, when you begin to feel a migraine coming on. If you don't catch it early it won't really do much. This has been such a relief for me and I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from migraines. I completely understand how crippling it can be to your day. It will help you!

This has been a miracle pill for me. I have suffered for years with migraines from the weather and my doctor prescribed this and within thirty minutes my headache is totally gone. The only side effect I have noticed is a feeling of weakness and feeling slow for about an hour after taking.

I almost preferred to suffer with the migraine. This medication intensified the pain of my migraine for about 30 minutes. I would begin to sweat and feel nauseous.

I suffered for years before I found Imitrex. It works like magic. I even call it my magic pill. Works in about an hour and all symptoms are gone; migraine, nausea, all of it. Very rarely (2x in 5 years) it has made me vomit, so I make sure I eat something before taking it. That seems to work. Also, I do feel a bit foggy after taking Imitrex, and can't seem to think straight. This is gone by the next day. I do wonder if long-term this is safe, but I am addicted because they actually work. Nine pills in a box usually lasts me 2 months.

This medication works pretty good (faster and more completely once the Dr had me take it with an Aleve). My migraine is usually gone in about an hour, no matter how far along the migraine is. It works better than the rizatriptan I started out on. It does cause me to get a little foggy once it starts working though.
