| 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. | Add Treximet review I have been suffering with daily headaches for about 5 years. I started Treximet when it was new and it was the only medication that worked for me. My headache goes away within 20 minutes and I have minimum side effects, occasional tiredness. At first I could only get 9 pills a month and now I can get up to 18 pills a month which still isn't enough when you wake up with a headache daily. However, my quality of life is so much better. I tried eveything from maxalt, relpak, botox, acupuncture,daily medications like topomax and even infusions. None of these worked. Treximet has been like a miracle drug for me. I was diagnosed with migraines when I was in high school. I was prescribed medication but it didn't work so I went a long time suffering through my headaches. About 20 years ago started taking Imitrex and it worked for a long time. But it stopped being effective and I switched to Relpax. Relpax stopped working well so I switched this year to Treximet. It works very well without any side effects. Although I experience weight gain when I take it like someone else wrote. But I am very pleased with this medication. | |||
