Comment:
I use to have chronic migraines without taking prescription medications. I got to the point of severe vomiting and could not function, my day was over. But after taking this medication my migraines are controlled. Yet no medication is 100% effective, axert has certainly saved me from the dreadful days of pain.

Comment:
I am 15 years old, and began getting intense migraines last year. I was hospitalized twice and put on over 20 different medications all at different times. None of these medications worked. Then my Neurologist prescribed Axert. Axert is the only medicine that will eliminate my headaches every time without fail. Axert is the go to drug for me and I highly recommend it to any migraine patient.

Neurologist thinks it is a migrain

Comment:
Usually within 30 minutes I am pain free with no side effects. I've bee forced in the past by insurance companies to try generic drugs & none of them worked. Now I'm being forced again to go generic. I get weather migraines so I can't avoid any migraine triggers. I need something that works & works quickly & that is what I get with Axert.
