Imitrex vs Zomig
 | Imitrex |  | Zomig |  |
| Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Sumatriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain. Sumatriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks. | Zolmitriptan is used to treat migraines.

| Add Imitrex review it works sometimes not all the time,it makes me feel funny. I have very vivid dreams. Sometimes I wake up hyper-ventilating and shaking. I also noticed irregular heartbeat, as if I were about to have a heart attack. If you don't need this drug, DO NOT TAKE IT. But if you have severe headaches (like me) then it may/may not be in your interest. (I'm 14 years old) This medication does the job! Your migraine will go away! BUT it has given me horrible side effect's, jaw pain, body ache's. I feel very drained and tired after for at least a day or two. | Add Zomig review This treatment has been very effective for my son's migraines. It almost instantly gives him relief for his migraine headaches. Sometimes the side affects include, some minor aches here and there, and constant sneezing. Other than that it seems OK! I have suffered migraine headaches since '84. I am on a regiment of preventive RX's but when a migraine strikes & OTC medication does not work, ZOMIG is the only thing that I have found effective to get rid of the pain. I have not experienced negative side effects, only relief. Usually a 2.5 dosage will take care of the headache, sometimes I have had to take one more dosage. Migraines are so debilitating, but with ZOMIG I have usually been able to take a tablet & continue whatever I am doing. I could be a spokesperson for this drug, I believe in it so much. If I did not have access to ZOMIG, I would have had many more trips to Urgent Care or the Emergency room because nothing else worked for me. Thank you ZOMIG!! | |||
