User Reviews for sumatriptan oral

seems to work well if taken at earier onset of migraine

I have experience migraines for atleast 25 yrs. I have taken alot of medications for these. I have taken Midrin, Sumatriptan, Amerge, Imitrex and Zomig over the years. The last medication I was taking was Zomig. Of all the meds Amerge, Imitrex, & Zomig worked the best. I have just this year turned back to the generic brand, because of insurance change and the other medicine were going to cost to much. The "name brand" worked the best for me and am somewhat disappointed that I can no longer get that because of cost. I am happy that there is affordable treatment for this as before I would ration my med and take only when I really needed to be able to function. I just have to make sure that I take this med early as possible when I feel migraine coming on in order for this to relieve symptons.Read More Read Less

I have suffered migraines for years. Other medications did not stop the migraine completely and still left me feeling nausea and quite ill.I then bought Imigran tablets from the Chemist (as advertised)two tablets cost £8! wow they are amazing.Within an hour I feel a lot better. I do not have to take time off work. They are my life line. Thank you to who ever invented Sumatriptan.

Took the first dose at the onset of a migraine, I felt better, but then felt like it was coming back. After 2 hrs I took a second dose of sumatriptan and it got better, but did not go away.....Maybe im just disappointing that it did not go completely away,but It did help relive the pain significantly.

I have used this medication since it's FDA approval. It has been a true God send for me. I have no idea what I would have done without it. Certainly I would have not been able to continue my employment throught to retirement.

I was switched to this about 9 months ago, it's much more effective than the old medication. However, it makes me extremely tired and have to urinate a lot during the day after I take it. I also get tingling in my jaw and weird sensations in my hands/feet if they get too cold or hot, but I can live with that over a migraine.

I have been a migraine sufferer since I was a teenager and was given everything under the sun to alleviate them, suffering even through pregnancies not able to take anything. About 15 years ago when I was in my 30's, a very good doctor introduced me to Imitrex, and boy, did the sun begin to shine again! Because of insurance I take the generic form now. I still think the brand works better, but I'm still happy when the pain goes away!

I have been experiencing migraines for 12 years and I was never diagnosed until last summer. My doctor then put me on this medication. My only complaint is that I get severe nausea 45 minutes after taking the drug. Otherwise, the migraines are guaranteed to go away! I'm so glad I found an end to my suffering!

after being on maxalt and midrin which was taken off the market, this is phenomenal! i have constant light sensitivity with almost an impending headache at all times. It helped with the multiple areas of pain for my migraines.

Migraine sufferer for years. nothing helped.Discovered this medicine through a trial clinic.Best chance i ever took. Never leave home without it.Usually takes 1 to 2 hours to take full effect,with no side effects,rarely do i need a second dose.

I have been taking this drug for about 15yrs in 50mg doses. It has never let me down. My migraines are not as severe as others experience. I never have nausea or loss of vision. Mine consist of a severe pain running from the back of my neck over the top of my head to my brow - always on one side only.

I have been using this medication for a long time and I would say that it is a miracle drug. Once it has kicked in, I am able to resume normal activities as if I didn't have a migraine. I couldn't survive without it.

This is absolutely the best stuff! I used to have really bad migraines and I wish I had Imitrix then. But my headaches are minor now, so I take only 25mg. at a time and it works like a charm! A family member takes it also and functions wonderfully on it. No side affects to my low dosages.

The Sumatriptan that was given to me loosely, in a bottle, is different than the foil pack according to my pharmacist. I became very ill after my pharmacy filled my Sumatriptan prescription with the white round tablet instead of foil pack. When checking with the Pharmacy, I found that the non-foil tablets contain "SULFA" which I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO. Therefore, I became very ill!!

I have been suffering from migrains doe as long as ai can remember. This medicine is a miracle! I dont know what i would do without it!

This medicine works great for me and is such a relief! I take one 100 mg tablet and it can almost always completely eliminate the migraine (even when it is full on). Rarely I will take two. It usually takes a while to start working (30-45 min). I will feel no relief at all for the first 30 minutes then I start to feel a tightness in my jaw. Right after this side effect happens the migraine is usually completely gone in just a few minutes. This works considerably better than anything I've tried in the past. I do not get nausea or fatigue or any alteration of mental state on this drug. Other than the temporary jaw sensation I get no side effects at all and can continue my day as usual.

I'm a VA hospital patient and the VA changed me to this about 5 months ago. So far it seems to work as advertised. Only 1 time a headache came on faster than the pill could work, then the only relief is a trip to the hospital. I have only needed 1 pill 99% of the time. Recently my headaches have been increasing in frequency but the sumatriptan has been for the most part kept them at bay. I have never had side effects, not even bieng tired/sleepy. Pretty happy so far!

This pill has changed my life!! It does work best right at the onset of the migraine-wipes it right out. I do have side effects-makes me very tired for a couple of hours and I have tightening of my jaw and some muscle tightening....also can not touch hot water, it feels like it is burning me. It is so much better than the brutal hell headaches I used to get that would last for days!

The medication works well to get rid of my migraine, but it makes me sick to my stomach. I have to take a nausea med along with it.
