Relpax vs Sumatriptan
 | Relpax |  | Sumatriptan |  |
| Eletriptan 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. Eletriptan 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. Eletriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks. | Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines.

| Add Relpax review When I began taking Relpax, I classified it as a miracle drug. I would get a migraine, take a Relpax (I also took two aspirin, about an hour later) and the headache would vanish. I have been taking Relpax for years, sometimes as many as once a day. In the last several months, I have been experiencing terrible withdrawals if I do not take a Relpax, namely, crippling headaches, exhaustion, sore throat, etc. There is a website "Relpax withdrawals" that you should check out. So now I'm in trouble; this is the only thing that gets rid of my migraines, and if I don't take one every day, I get a migraine. I'm seeing my doctor next week to find a way out of this mess. This is the first time I've taken this medication. It worked in under 30 minutes. I've not taken anything that has relieve my headaches so quickly. I became a little dizzy and groggy so the next time I take it, I will lie down. I'm excited about it! | 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. | |||
