| Add Naratriptan review I used a generic 2.5 tablet. I got little relief from pain. The side effects are almost unbearable. Stomach pain lasts for two days after dose. My usual happy self turns to a most unusual very agitated mental state. It causes my neck and jaw to cramp so tightly it adds pain to my headache. I got much better relief on Relpax which had no bad side effects. But insurance refuses to cover the Relpax :/ I used Amerge 2.5 mg very successfully to abort migraines at the first signs of a headache. Recently i have used Heritage Pharmaceuticals generic brand and find it much less effective and worse, it causes an upset stomache which never occurred until using this brand. This product is made in India, hopefully it is tested for effectiveness and safety. Has anyone else experienced stomache issues using a generic formula? | Add Sumatriptan review Did not help the Migraine within 20 min of taking the pill i was vomiting it right back up I usually only have to take a half of a pill and I feel a bit better within 30 mins to an hour. I have been multiple pills for migraines and this one has been the best. I don't normally get migraine but one every couple of months. I used Sumatriptan and every time I take it about 1/2 hour after I take it I alway throw up and then pass out finally. When I wake there is no more headache. So it works but I alway throw up. | |||
