User Reviews for Zomig oral

I couldn't be more happy that this drug is in existance. I just wish that I could have more than 12 pills per month. Sometimes I have to double up and I do have about 12 migraines per month. The side effects I've experienced is frequent urination, tingling in my jaw and drowsiness.

My doctors didn't know why I was gettting vertigo and discovered it was migraines. This is the only thing that keeps me working for I was about to lose my job! 5mg gave me strong chest pressure and pains along with my left side being tingly and numb. But half of a 2.5 tablet gives me no side effects and relieves the migraine for 2 hours. Would be nice if the 5mg tablet was scored four ways to save money.

I suffered with 5 day long migraines for 30 years before my doctor recommeded this medication. It gave me my life back.

I get horrible migraines several times a month and this medicine works about 99% of the time. Its a miracle worker in my experience

I found no relief when taking Zomig.

I have come to realize that after taking this medication it is more effecive if I lay down for 20-30 minutes to get the relief from my migraine headache.

I have tried alot of migraine meds. This is the only one that has worked for me.

I have hormonal headaches. Zomig works the majority of the time. I do have several side effects including burning mouth, drowsiness, and tingling.

headache and nausea completely gone in 20 minutes.

I get migraines fairly regularly and nothing seemed to help until I started taking Zomig. I usually get auras before my migraine (tingly hands/fingers or loss of vision) and taking the zomig when I start an aura usualy stops the migraine. When I do not get an aura it usualy takes about 45-1hr to start to work. I do not get any side effects from taking the drug, it works wonders!

I have had migraines since the beginning of menstruation. For the first several years products like Advil and Excedrin worked fine but then they seemed to lose their effectiveness. Even Excedrin Migraine does nothing for me. I tried many of the new drugs that came out like Imitrex and Maxalt but they did not work. Then Zomig came along and I haven't tried anything else since. It works very well for me. Only side effects are a tired or numb feeling in my neck and jaw and of course it is VERY expensive.Read More Read Less

I have suffered from migraine headaches for over 30 years and this is the only medication I have taken that takes the headache away in a relatively short period of time and with few side effects. I have found that if I catch it quickly, I can take a third of a 5mg pill and it does the trick. I do have some joint soreness after taking the pill which I never had taking other migraine medications.

I am 24 and get migraines often. The doctors do not know why but when i take the zomig my headache always goes away it is very expensive and i do use it often but it is worth it. My skin does burn after i take it especially if i take a shower.

I find Zomig to relieve a migraine within 1-2 hours of onset. Side effects are skin sensitivity and joint pain (hip area and jaw). Sleepiness may also happen, but if im at work, I dont feel the sleepiness as much as when im home and relaxed. Side effects are worth it to get rid of the migraine. Cost is high:$120 co-pay for 12 pills (3 mo. supply). Would be nice if drug co. offered coupons.

I have had migraines for about 20 years. I have tried nearly every medication possible and Zomig is by far the best one for relieving my pain.

I have migraines that come in clusters and may last one day or over a period of two days; sometimes I've had migraines almost daily and in recent months, maybe two or three per month. Zomig has been the only medication that works on a continual basis. I take it at the first signs of a migraine and it usually works wonders. I, too have problems with joint and muscle pain that accompany my headaches and leave me sore afterward. I was glad to see that others have this problem too. As an accompanying treatment, a licensed massage therapist that is skilled in pain management is beneficial as well. Read More Read Less

I have used Zomig since it first came on the market after trying many other medications for migraine. It is the best one I have used and it always works within 30-45 minutes. The only drawbacks are that only being able to take two tablets in a 24 hour period, sometimes each tab doesn't last for 12 hours and I may cheat and take another tab sooner than I should. Also, I have joint pain and tightness and tingling in the neck area. Since my migraines usually last 3 days, the cost of 6 tabs is really high and I usually have at least 2 migraines a month. My insurance only pays for 6 tabs per month and i also have a 40% co-pay. Read More Read Less

this pill is a life saver for me. it works within twenty mins or less. i could not work with out it. it takes the pain away completely for me. i get migraines almost every day. its a family curse. i was put on this ten years ago. and i only take one pill a day and i am good all day. sometimes weeks go by without a migraine. only problem it is expensive and my healthplan will not pay for all i need. the drug co itself helpsme.

i was somewhat paralyzed for two hours. i couldnt move one half of my body. i was scared to death and nauseated.

It took my migrane away briefly but then it came back so much worse it made me nausious and my jaw hurt too.
