User Reviews for sumatriptan oral

It makes my headaches worse, and the side effects are scary! My chest feels tights, my neck becomes stiff, and my head throbs worse than it did before I went to take it.

medicine has not been working for me, I suffer with migraine headaches everyday, i go to bed with them and i wake up with them. i cant stand light, heat, sound, and being around talking or lots of people suck. With insurance only allowing 9 pills I dont see how I can even really see if this medicine will work

Does not work for me I hate being a guinea pig for meds but am willing to try everything until something relieves my migraines

this medication has allowed me to actually be able to function (for the most part) when one strikes. does not alleviate all symptoms but is far better than a trip to the ER!!!

Side effects are worse than the actual migraine.

I been taking sumatriptans for 30 years, this has always worked for me, i agree that the insurance companies should give more than 9 pills a month.

I have massive migraines just about every day and this medicine has not helped in relieving or easing my headaches

This is the worst brand of sumatripan I have ever taken. Lowers the pain, but does not get rid of the pain.

Sumatriptan allows me to continue on with my day after a migraine hits. It's the best migraine med I've ever tried. I get up to 2 migraines with aura a week and now i can actually function after one starts. Yey!

I have had similar issues like others, my insurance won't allow me to get enough medication each month to cover all of my migraine headaches. This problem really needs to be remedied.

Reduced the headache to an acceptable level. It made me feel little tired (not too bad though). I also become very sensetive to heat, I feel my hands burning just washing them in warm water. For those who get migraines, warm hands and little tiredness are nothing compared to the headache.

This is not a miracle drug but after 11 years of migraines I came across it and it helps a lot. I rely largely on diet, exercise, moderation, acupuncture, herbs and other natural remedies, but sumatriptan is a great drug and my life is better for it.

The treatment for my cluster migraines has been very effective. I had not had them for 4 years and this medication is far better than the last one I had. The problem is that the pharmacy insurance (CareMark/CVS) would not refill my prescription as 9 tablets were supposed to last for 30 days. (? not) I spent the morning on the telephone to CareMark customer service and the very nice yet uninformed lady agreed to a refill without paying $154 for 9 tablets. In future, she said that any refills must have prior authorization. My doctor's office was very agreeable to that and said that when I get down to 6 tablets to give them a call and they would take care of it…..time will tell on that part. I will make quite sure to call on a Monday so that everyone has the allotted 24-72 hours to manifest the operation! Quelle merde. Times have changed since I was a child and my parents knew all of the doctors who would drop anything (including a cocktail) to make a house call or a pharmacy call. After I was married it was the cold cruel world no longer insulated by my magic doctors. It continues to be annoying. I have a very accommodating doctor (one of my prerequisites) and I am preservering to obtain the same from my insurer. Incidentally I too have fibromyalgia. Migraines and fibro are related through the mutual symptoms, imbalance, nerve pain etcetera. Read More Read Less

relieves nerve pain for migraine and fibromyalgia.

Works great but my insurance company (United Healthcare) thinks they are the perscribing physican and will only give me 4 pills a month. I have more than 4 migraines a month. I have to sometimes cut them in half.

I have been taking this drug (50 mg) to treat migraine for about 3 years now. Within 2 hours of taking a pill I have my life back and the migraine has completely gone. I call it my 'miracle pill' and have had no side effects whatsoever.

I would take this at the first sign of a migraine and every time I ended up with a worse headache than prior.I do not think this works for me.

Does the job! But now I am going to doc to see if it is causing my heart palpitations.

I have been on this medication for 7 months because my regular meds became too expensive. Takes between 1 to 2 hours to take the migraine away. My regular migraine medication only took 15 minutes to work. I get light headed for about 30 minutes but it works. Better than nothing at all. The pill quantity each month will depend on which insurance carrier you have. I am only allowed 18 pills per month.
