This Drug has improved the quality of my life greatly! After years of taking T3's. To make it thru the day. And they just knocked the edge off the headaches.I tried sumatriptan and it works with no side effects. Don't let your headache get out of control. If you feel one take one immediatly.Takes about an hour.After 30 years of pain this has changed my life for the better.

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 still have massive migraines that start on the right side of my head and stays with me for now 4 days. Although the migraine isn't constant, I've taken this medication and it hasn't worked for me.

I have suffered sever pressure headaches for several years. Advil and Tylenol worked to relive pain but after 6 years it quit working. I turned to the Doctors that gave me this drug. It would instantly take the migraine away but would come back twice as worse within a few hours. I would have to take up to 5 a day to make it through each day.

Dr. prescribed this med for abdominal pain (after surgery, underlying cause still unknown). I have tried many different things, and this really takes the edge off & helps me function.

Suffered with migraine headaches for years! Often times they would last for days and I would vomit numerous times. This drug is wonderful! I've used it now for about 5 years and I wouldn't be caught without having it on hand/in my purse. As I age, the headaches are becoming fewer - the only advantage I've found so far about growing older!

So far so good. I was just diagnosed with Cluster Headaches. I took one tab 20 minutes ago and the headache is gone. We will see if it does the trick. These headaches have made it impossible for me to work.

I have used this drug for about one year now, it almost always help. Sometimes I may need two (must wait two hours between tablets) but one if taken early on will stop the migraine, with no side effects, sometimes two may cause mild side effects. For me, this this medication is a great help untill I used it a migraine would knock me out for hours.

This medicine is back-up when my Maxalt doesn't work fr a migraine. When I took it, it helped ease the pain very quickly. I would recommend it.

Sumatriptan is magic, take it at the onset and 20 minutes later you're good-to-go. Have used Imitrex/Sumatpriptan for 2 years.

The tablet disolved as soon as I put it in my mouth and gave off a terrible after taste which made me vomit even more. It made me extremely tired and dizzy for days after the migraine had subsided. I wouldnt recommend it.
